Sir Kenneth Blaxter Scholarship

The Sir Kenneth Blaxter Scholarship is aimed at providing opportunities for younger members of the Society ie post-graduates or those in the early years' of their animal science career. The scholarship is to be used for travel in the UK or overseas, or for a specified overseas study tour, or to fund a specific short research programme, it may also be used to part fund projects.  The Kenneth Blaxter is open to applicants from all branches of animal science and any reasonable proposal within the scope of the scheme will be considered.
