New award worth £5K for 16-25yrs to bring their big ideas to life, inspired by Isaac Newton

The National Trust has just launched the Time + Space Award, a chance for four young people to get the time, space, support and inspiration they’ve been looking for to unlock their big ideas. The award is inspired by Isaac Newton’s ‘year of wonders,’ which happened when he was just 23. A pandemic forced him to spend the year at his home, Woolsthorpe Manor, and he used the time and space available to him to make world-changing discoveries. Newton’s famous apple tree still stands at Woolsthorpe and the National Trust wants to invite the big thinkers of today to come and find their own inspiration in tackling’s today’s challenges.

Entries are open now to anyone aged 16-25 and close on 30 April 2024. Each award is worth up to the equivalent of £5,000 and includes a package of mentoring, expert support, time at Woolsthorpe Manor, resources, expenses and more to help the winners bring their big idea to life. 

For a chance to win, all you need to do is answer one question in your field of choice – nature & climate, arts & culture, science, or society – via the entry form here.

If you submit a valid application for the Time + Space Award, you’ll get a free National Trust day pass for two visitors to use at any of the participating places the National Trust looks after.

Entries will be judged by an expert panel including Professor David Olusoga (Historian and Broadcaster), Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock (British space scientist), Megan McCubbin (Zoologist, Wildlife TV presenter & Science Communicator), and Tayshan Hayden-Smith (TV presenter, Social & environmental activist). The four winners will be announced in July 2024.  

Your idea doesn’t have to be fully-formed, that’s what the award is there to help with but if you believe your idea has potential, please apply.

Yenching Academy – Application Open for the 2024 Zhuoyue Scholarship Program

The “Youth of Excellence Scheme of China Program Chinese Government Scholarship” (thereafter regarded as the Zhuoyue Scholarship program) is a competitive scholarship program provided by the Ministry of Education of the P.R.C., and the Yenching Academy is among a handful of high-ranking university programs in China offering this scholarship opportunity.

On top of the currently available funding opportunities and application requirements at the Yenching Academy, the Zhuoyue Scholarship program is open to non-P.R.C. passport holders under the age of 45 years, and is tenable for one academic year during the course of study at the Yenching Academy. A distinct application prerequisite for this particular scholarship is the requirement to have three or more consecutive years of employment experience related to one of the following categories:

·      Chief staff member (or equivalent) of government departments;

·      Senior managerial role in an institution, organization or enterprise;

·      Administrative management role in the higher education sector or research institution;

·      Work or internship experience in an international organization.

Like other Yenching Scholars, the Zhuoyue Scholarship recipients are required to complete all required credits during the first academic year on campus. Upon completing the preparation work of a Master’s thesis, they are obliged to fulfil the requirements of a Master’s thesis and thesis defense outside of the Chinese Mainland during the second academic year. It is worth noting that although all Yenching Scholars receive the same amount of scholarship during their entire course of study, due to the nature of its design, the Zhuoyue Scholarship recipients will receive the full amount of scholarship within one year.

More information about the requirements and application procedures for the Zhuoyue Scholarship program is available on our website, as well as the China Scholarship Council website. Kindly note that even though we highly appreciate the pre-selection and nomination processes of our Partner Universities, this specific scholarship program does not fall under our normal application window for international students, hence we will not request students or alumni of Partner Universities to apply via their home universities. To submit an application, applicants can simply send us the application package via email at yca-admissions@pku.edu.cn.

Application deadline: 12 noon on March 3rd, 2024 (Beijing time)
