Nuffield Science Bursaries - Schools and Colleges

I have students interested in taking part in a busary this Summer. What should I do next?

Firstly, you should contact your local Regional Coordinator who will be able to provide you with application forms for your students and some guidance notes about the scheme.

Your students may find it useful to talk to you about the type of project that interests them before completing their application form.

Encourage students to complete an Application Form and then complete part F before submitting the forms to the Regional Co-ordinator.

In your reference could you please comment on the student’s:

• motivation and enthusiasm for science and for the area of science, technology or engineering in which they have expressed an interest in finding a project
• ability to make a contribution to the project and how the project could provide particular benefit to the student’s reliability and maturity
• ability to work as part of a team and take instructions
• ability to work on their own and take responsibility and initiative
• particular skills and attributes that make them a suitable candidate for a Nuffield Science Bursary.

Each student will need to complete an application form.

If you have a number of students applying for the scheme, you will only need to provide details about the school/college as well as supporting the students' application on one of the application forms. The personal reference for the student should be completed by the science teacher/lecturer.

You should then submit all of your forms to your local Regional Coordinator.
