The Medical Women's Federation awards and oversees a variety of grants and prizes throughout the year. For more details please see below:
Small grants are awarded annually to mature (i.e. 2nd degree and ineligible for local authority funding) female medical students. Forms are available from February for the academic session beginning in autumn by email or on this site. Applications must be returned completed with the required documentation (originals) by 31 May. Successful candidates are informed by the end of July, and cheques are posted in October. Awards are normally between £50-£300 per person. Medical Students who move during their busy clinical years will be given higher priority compared to first year students who may only be given an award in exceptional circumstances.
MWF is sponsoring a £100 prize in participating medical schools throughout the UK. We have been liasing with medical schools and some have begun to allocate the prize. Please note that MWF is not responsible for the decisions regarding the successful applicant and enquiries should be made to your own university awards office. If you wish to find out whether your medical school is participating, or are an MWF member and would interested in presenting the prize at your local medical school, please e-mail admin.mwf@btconnect.com
Small grants of £50-£200 are awarded to female medical students to assist them with elective costs. The deadline for applications is 16th January 2009 for electives taking place in 2009 – please note we cannot fund retrospectively. MWF members are given priority and there will be some geographical spread to the awards.
