Following another great response to Joan Lewin education bursaries last year, we bring you news of this years' bursary applications.

Thanks to a legacy left by Joan Lewin, the Historical Association is able to offer a number of bursaries of up to £1000 to the teacher or small group of teachers who are able to demonstrate their ability to further the cause of history in schools or colleges.

This year, the same general application rules as detailed below will apply, although this year, repetition of topics/areas covered by last years' successful applicants will not be considered. Applications will open from January 31^st. Expressions of interest must be delivered by March 31^st and shortlisted full applications by May 31^st. If you have a great idea for a project and would like to apply for bursary funding then please complete an expression of interest (attached below) and return it to Melanie Jones on melaniej@history.org.uk by March 31^st 2012.

Possible proposals could entail:
