<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Garamond','serif'; COLOR: black">You will be pleased to hear that applications are now being invited for this year’s UFAW<a></a> Animal Welfare Student Scholarships awards. As a LINK university
your students are eligible to apply for this scholarship, the closing date for applications for which is:
<b>28th February 2014</b>. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Garamond','serif'; COLOR: black">The aim of this scheme is to enable students to pursue their interests in animal welfare and to provide them with the opportunity to conduct their own relevant
research or other (e.g. educational) projects. Students will usually be undertaking courses in the agricultural, biological, psychological, veterinary or zoological sciences. However, we would also welcome applications from students from other disciplines
and who are interested in carrying out a project in animal welfare. MSc students are also welcome to apply.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Garamond','serif'; COLOR: black"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Garamond','serif'; COLOR: black">Projects must be relevant to improving the welfare of farm, laboratory, companion, zoo, or free-living wild animals whose welfare is compromised by human factors,
and may be carried out within the UK or overseas (the project undertaken may be part of the students course). Successful applicants will be awarded up to UK
<b>£1600</b> to cover subsistence and project expenses. Please visit the following UFAW<a></a> website for further information or to download an application form:
