The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) has opened applications for its Animal Welfare Student Scholarships 2017. The aim of the scheme is to help students pursue their interests in animal welfare through research and other projects.
Successful candidates will be awarded up to £2,000 to cover subsistence, and up to £400 towards project expenses. The funded projects must be relevant to improving the welfare of farm, companion, laboratory, zoo or free-living wild animals whose welfare is compromised by human factors.
Application forms must be submitted by 28 February. Further information, and details about how to apply, can be found at www.ufaw.org.uk/awss
