Academy Scotland Travel Fund 2010-11

The Scotland team have just launched their travel fund for 2010-11.  This initiative, begun in 2008-09, offers bursaries of up to £200 to help staff and students from HEIs in Scotland attend HEA events elsewhere in the UK in order to encourage the exchange and dissemination of good practice. 

We would appreciate your help in promoting the fund, for example by adding a link to the webpage below to your events pages, and would like to thank those of you who did this for the 2009-10 fund.
