Anna Plowden Trust scholarship

Scholarship
The Anna Plowden Trust

Following the death of Anna Plowden CBE, a trust was established by
her friends and family.  She was one of the first scientifically
trained conservators to work in the private sector and was committed
to the promotion and development of the conservation profession
through both training and education, which she believed should be of
the highest possible standard.  The Trust seeks to promote her
ideals and interests.

The Trust, established in 1998, is now able to offer a limited
number of bursaries towards tuition fees for the academic year
1999-2000.  Bursaries would cover up to 100% of course fees for a
maximum of two years. Candidates can be either post-graduate
students or conservators already working within the private sector.
Funding is also available for mid-career applicants seeking to
improve their skills and personal development to attend short
courses or appropriate conferences.

In the future, the Trust hope to fund internships and conservation
research and welcomes donations to assist with the development of
the conservation profession through excellence and scholarship.
