St Catherine’s College believes in investing in talent. With the help of Alumni, Fellows and Friends we are able to offer a wide range of awards and prizes.
As a result of generous donations from alumni and friends of the College, the College is able to make a number of travel awards to existing undergraduates each year for travel abroad during the long vacation. The awards are primarily for enterprising and interesting travel projects rather than for study. Further details of these awards are circulated to students by email and are posted on notice boards within the College.
