What are the aims of the scholarships?
The primary objective of Hornby Scholarships is to enable scholars, on completion of their UK Master’s degree, to make effective contributions to the strengthening of English language teaching in their home countries.
In order to facilitate this, on return home, the Trust offers scholars:
- access to professional support through its alumni network
- possible funding via alumni project grants for in-country capacity-building activities that are relevant to the needs of teachers in their working context
- access support for in-country activities such as seminars and workshops.
Scholars are therefore selected to ensure that they have the ability and commitment to deliver new initiatives in their home country.
What does the scholarship cover?
The Trust will cover:
- course fees
- a monthly stipend to cover accommodation and living costs
- travel and visa costs
- warm clothing allowance
- dissertation allowance.
Who can apply?
ELT professionals:
- with several years of experience working in the ELT sector
- who are citizens of low- and middle-income countries as detailed on the DAC List
- who meet the University of Exeter Master’s degree entrance criteria.
