Scholarship Description: Professor Donald Bligh graduated in Teacher Training from Leeds Metropolitan University in 1958. He believes that universities are not only concerned with teaching knowledge, but creating new knowledge and new interpretations of old knowledge by use of the imagination and then testing ideas by research and intellectual criticism. The Professor Bligh Scholarship seeks to reward one student who can show they can think for themselves and argue for their ideas, whilst recognising possible objections and devising a way of testing or criticising their own ideas.If your application for the Professor Bligh Scholarship is successful you will be awarded £1,000 which will be split into two awards of £500. The first instalment will be awarded in September to supplement the start of your second year studies and the second instalment will be paid in January after successful completion of your first term. In addition, throughout the period of the Scholarship, Professor Bligh will also be available as a mentor to take your ideas further and help develop appropriate study methods to do so.
Scholarship Application Deadline: 7th September 2012.
