NOTES FOR THOSE SUPPORTING APPLICANTS

The objective is to assist those starting out on a process of study and self-discovery, where practical experience and opportunity to explore new ideas and approaches to rural development play an important part. Candidates must have an open and enquiring mind and must be free from commitment.

The intention of this award is to stimulate the present generation of students, and the institutions in which they are enrolled, to discuss rural development . Thus the degree of support in terms of guidance, academic supervision, access to facilities provided by the institutions and individual faculty members, will be a factor in the Selection Committee's final decision.

The Trust's Selection Committee requests that a covering letter supporting the application be sent giving the reasons for the choice of candidate and the support given by the faculty. In addition, a reference covering academic abilities and personal credentials is required. The need for financial assistance and the ultimate usefulness of the proposed study should also be stated.

 

Completed application forms, together with letters of support, should be sent to:

The Administrator,

David Moore Memorial Award, The Arkleton Trust, The Old Golf House, Rectory Road, Streatley, Berks, RG8 9QA UK.

The closing date for application is the 31st January
