HSA Student/Trainee Scholarships provide up to £3600 to enable students or trainees in the industry to carry out a project that is clearly aimed at improving the welfare of food animals in markets, during transport or at slaughter.  

Applications are welcome from undergraduate or MSc Students from trainees in the livestock, meat and fish industries.  

Please note: PhD students are NOT eligible to apply.  

Scholarships consist of £350 per week subsistence allowance for the Scholar (paid to the Student/Trainee directly) plus £100 per week project expenses (paid to the host university/organisation).   
Although typically completed during the July-September vacation, projects may be carried out at any time during the year of application and usually last 4 to 8 weeks. Support is provided for up to 8 weeks up to a maximum of £3600, although projects themselves may be longer than this.
