Medical Awards and Competitions

If you need funding for an intercalated degree year, a research project or to spend a summer vacation doing research-based work experience then why not try to get some financial help from one of the many institutions that offer funding in these areas? As with all sources of funding, make sure that your project matches the funder’s criteria before applying.

If you have a flair for essay writing, then look out for competitions run by the royal colleges and many other professional medical associations, usually to encourage interest in their specialty. Closing dates for submission fall throughout the year (although many seem to be set for February or March).
