Subject: Cumberland Lodge Scholarship<br>
<br>
Dear Vice Chancellor,<br>
<br>
I am writing to ask for your help to launch a new initiative at Cumberland Lodge, the educational charity based in Windsor Great Park.<br>
<br>
As you may know, Cumberland Lodge has been working with universities since 1947, in particular by hosting study retreats. Currently, about 3,000 students visit the Lodge each year in this way. The Lodge has also established a reputation for arranging interdisciplinary
conferences on a wide range of topics, often with an ethical or societal slant, which bring together academics, people in public life, and those with a particular interest in a subject.<br>
<br>
We are drawing these two strands of work together by establishing a scholarship scheme for doctoral students studying in the UK, to be launched this year. Designed to fit around their university studies, the scholarship will involve students taking part in
our conference programme. In doing so, they will receive training and gain experience in: communication and public engagement, working collaboratively across disciplines, and networking – as well as enjoy Cumberland Lodge’s excellent facilities.<br>
<br>
We are looking to recruit the first six scholars for the next academic year, and the reason for being in touch to ask if you could forward the details to anyone you think might be a suitable candidate. Applicants must have the support of their university and
be able to commit to a two year programme which involves spending six days at the Lodge each year. It is likely, therefore, that candidates will currently be first year doctoral students.<br>
<br>
In particular, we are looking to appoint scholars who through their academic work/and or other activities, demonstrate a commitment to working in some way for ‘the betterment of society’. They must have sufficient intellectual breadth to be able to contribute
to conferences outside their own field, the confidence to speak in public and make presentations, and the social skills to benefit from the networking opportunities they will gain through contacts at the Lodge. In short, we are not necessarily looking for
candidates who display academic excellence, but those with a blend of academic ability, interest in ethics and society, and personal qualities which means they would benefit from an association with the Lodge and its activities.<br>
<br>
Please find attached a poster about the scholarship, and please do forward it to anyone you think might be suitable and interested. Further details and an application form can be found at

Many thanks for your help, which is greatly appreciated.<br>

With all good wishes,<br>
