Grants and Prizes

Undergraduate Achievement Award

The Society for Endocrinology Undergraduate Achievement Awards have been established to encourage excellence in the study of endocrinology by undergraduate students.

Departments are invited to submit applications to the Society for an award to outstanding undergraduates. The award will consist of a £300/yr grant to the department (for three years), and a certificate from the Society to the award winner.

The grants will be awarded once per year. One grant will be available to a department in any three-year period. There will be twelve grants available each year, awarded to eligible departments on a first come first served basis.

Eligibility:

Applications will only be considered if submitted by a paid up member of the Society for Endocrinology. Full Members may apply if they hold a minimum of one year’s membership. It is anticipated that the applicant will normally be an academic or academic-related staff member. If not, a letter of support is required by the principal investigator or clinical team leader.

Value: £300/year for three years

Opening date for applications: 18 June 2008
