OJ Travel Fund
Are you planning to travel overseas or undertake further education, and would financial assistance help? The OJ Club Travel Fund may be able to support you.
Purpose
The fund was set up by the OJ Club to give financial assistance to OJs travelling overseas, particularly for those undertaking specific projects during a Gap Year. It isn't limited to school leavers, OJs in further education and beyond are also eligible for grants.
The aim of the travel must be educational or charitable. The fund does not exist to cover holidays undertaken purely for pleasure.
Applications
Applications open in the New Year, with a deadline in late February. Interviews take place at the College in March, and applicants are informed of the Committee's decision as soon as possible. For full details and this year's deadline, contact the Foundation at hurstfoundation@hppc.co.uk.
How to apply
Applicants are asked to provide full details about themselves and their proposed trip: how long they plan to be away, the costs involved, and why the travel will be of benefit to them. Applicants should also explain what else they are doing to raise funds for their venture, and provide supporting documentation from any organisation involved in the visit.
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed by members of the OJ Club Committee. Once the panel's recommendations have been discussed and ratified, all candidates will be informed whether their application has been successful.
Successful candidates are required to submit a 500-word report, along with 5 to 10 photographs showing both themselves and the destination, for publication in the annual Floreat Magazine.
