Bartle Frere Exhibitions, Mary Euphrasia Mosley Fund, and
Worts Travelling Scholars Fund
The Managers of the Mary Euphrasia Mosley Fund invite applications for the following awards:
The Mary Euphrasia Mosley Fund
The Mary Euphrasia Mosley Fund provides awards for the encouragement of travel to the countries of the
Commonwealth and dependent territories, excluding the United Kingdom, for the promotion of study or research and
for the maintenance of good relations between them. Candidates must be members of the University who are not of
standing to become Masters of Arts.
Bartle Frere Exhibitions
Bartle Frere Exhibitions are awarded annually for study or research in any branch of knowledge relating to a
Commonwealth country other than the United Kingdom, Bangladesh, India, or Pakistan. The Managers will give
preference to undergraduates intending to spend the period of tenure undertaking research in one of the countries
provided for in the regulations but Graduate Students will also be considered.
The Worts Travelling Scholars Fund
Grants from the Worts Travelling Scholars Fund are made annually for the promotion or encouragement of
investigations in countries outside Great Britain respecting the religion, learning, law, politics, customs, manners, and
rarities, natural or artificial, of those countries, or for purposes of geographical discovery or of antiquarian or scientific
research in such countries, subject to any conditions as to publication of the results of investigations which may be
laid down at the time of the making of the grant. The Managers will give preference to undergraduates but Graduate
Students travelling to non-Commonwealth countries or to Bangladesh, India, or Pakistan will also be considered.
These grants are made to individuals or expeditions on the basis of recommendations and are therefore not
transferable.
