[Postgrad] Fwd: Cumberland Lodge Scholarship

Thu Mar 13 12:26:55 GMT 2014

See attachment for details of Cumberland Lodge scholarships, which aim 
to develop skills in communication,
public engagement, and interdisciplinary collaboration for current PG 
students.

Probably most relevant to 1st year students as it requires commitment to 
a 2-year programme.

Dear Vice Chancellor,

I am writing to ask for your help to launch a new initiative at 
Cumberland Lodge, the educational charity based in Windsor Great Park.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 
www.cumberlandlodge.ac.uk/scholarships

Many thanks for your help, which is greatly appreciated.

With all good wishes,

Canon Edmund Newell
