Wyndham Deedes Memorial Travel Scholarship The Anglo-Israel Association annually awards a limited number of travel scholarships to Israel. The Scholarship is in memory of its Founder, the late Brigadier Sir Wyndham Deedes, CMG, DSO who served as Chief Secretary to the British Mandatory government of Palestine. The objective of the awards is to enable graduates of British universities, and others with special qualifications or interests, who are normally resident in the UK to make an intensive study of some aspect, (sociological, scientific, cultural, economic, etc.) of life in Israel. The study should be in an area in which the applicant is specially qualified or interested and that would be of direct interest to those working in that field in the UK. Eligibility Applicants must be of British nationality, who, intend to remain resident in the UK. The scholarships are open to men and women, normally under 35 years of age, who have graduated from a British university or institute of higher education. However, applications from mature students are also welcomed. Conditions Applicants must undertake to spend at least six weeks in Israel within twelve months of the date of the award and also submit a report on their project of not less than 5,000 words within twelve months of the date of their return from Israel. The Association retains a right to publish the reports. Alternatively, students may arrange publication of their findings in professional journals, mount exhibitions or mount lectures for the relevant professional body. Selection Awards are decided by a selection Committee that meets annually. The initial selection procedure is carried out following the closing date, when those short-listed are informed and given the date and time of their interview. The interview will take place in London. As from 2009 we have two closing dates – 31st March and 31st July. Value Each Scholarship is worth up to £2,000 and is intended to be a contribution towards the travel and subsistence expenses incurred in visiting Israel.
