Each year up to twelve Peter Kirk travel scholarships are awarded to promote understanding of Europe amongst young Britons, and of Britain amongst young people from other European countries. They enable young people aged between 18 and 26 to carry out a study project of their own choice in another European country. Click on What are the scholarships? for more information.
It is essential that you are prepared to travel abroad independently. Although you are not required to be a specialist in modern languages you will need to gather information on your project from conversations with people as well as from books and other media. You should, therefore, be confident that you will be able to talk to the people you meet in the country(ies) you visit.
The scholarships were endowed to commemorate the work of the late Sir Peter Kirk MP, who died in 1977, aged 49, while leader of the first British team in the European Parliament.
