[Graduate-research-list] Female student funding opportunity

[Natalie Bradshaw]

The Henrietta Hutton Memorial Fund offers research grants to female students
under 25 years of age who intend to undertake field research overseas as an
individual or as part of a multi-disciplinary team. The field research must
be of more than four weeks duration but does not necessarily have to be
connected to the student's academic studies. Two grants of £500 each are
awarded annually. The intention is that one grant should go to an
undergraduate and the other to a postgraduate student. The grants are given
in memory of Mrs Henrietta Hutton, a young Oxford graduate who died in 1963.
She was a founder member of the Oxford University Women's Exploration Club
and a widely respected ornithologist, the behaviour and ecology of birds
being her prime interest. Henrietta was also a member of the OUWEC Madeiras
expedition in 1961.
