Harry Smith Vacation Studentships 2013 - another record year

21 May 2013

The popularity of this scheme, which offers a great opportunity for undergraduate students to work on microbiological research projects, continues to grow!

A record 129 applications were received this year for Harry Smith Vacation Studentships. Following review of the applications (with thanks to the panel of referees for their efforts), 51 awards were made. Applications are made by SGM members (the project supervisor) on behalf of undergraduates who wish to undertake a project in the summer vacation before their final year of study. The studentships provide support to the student at a rate of £185 per week for a period of up to 8 weeks, plus up to £400 for laboratory consumables. The student also receives free Undergraduate Membership of the Society for a year.
