RECORD OF WINGATE SCHOLARS 1988 - 2008
The Harold Hyam Wingate Foundation awards Scholarships to individuals of great potential or proven excellence who need financial support to undertake creative or original work of intellectual, scientific, artistic, social or environmental value, and to outstandingly talented musicians for advanced training.
There is no upper age limit and the Scholarship Committee welcomes applications from mature students and those from non-traditional academic backgrounds. These awards attempt to provide funding for crossdisciplinary projects that might not fall comfortably into any of the conventional funding categories.
Wingate Scholarships are restricted to people over 24 years of age who are living in the British Isles. They must be citizens of the UK, the Commonwealth, Israel or Ireland, or citizens of the European Union (provided that they have been resident in the United Kingdom for at least 3 years). The Scholarships can be held for up to 3 years and have a maximum value of £10,000 a year, but they are usually given for shorter periods and smaller sums.
In 2007 there were 478 applications, 99 people were interviewed and 42 scholarships have been awarded..
