The ACU is excited to once again be supporting undergraduate students from UK member universities to attend a summer school overseas. 17 grants of up to GBP 2000 are available.<\/p>\n
Taking part in an international summer school is a great way for students to learn new skills, increase their intercultural understanding, and build diverse new networks. And universities benefit too \u2013 hosting a summer school helps to raise their profile, attract international students, and develop new global partnerships.<\/p>\n
The grants, which are funded by the kind legacy of Major Harold William Paxton, are aimed particularly at students from low-income families, care leavers, and students who are the first in their family to attend university.<\/p>\n
