New scholarship for Antarctic Studies
The Cambridge Commonwealth Trust has signed an agreement with the Rutherford Foundation and Antarctica New Zealand, to co-fund a Scott Polar Centenary Scholarship from 2011. This new scholarship will support an outstanding New Zealander studying for a PhD in Antarctic research at the University's Scott Polar Research Institute. It commemorates the centenary in 2011-12 of Captain Scott’s scientific and exploratory mission to the South Pole.
Further information about the scholarship is on the Rutherford Foundation website.
