N Horton Smith and Aspire Travel Scholarship
For students with an interest and ability in languages, music or fine arts who will be studying abroad
The N Horton Smith and Aspire Travel Scholarship aims to help students fund their studies abroad as part of their undergraduate degree. Interest and ability in languages, music and fine arts will be considered as part of this scholarship.
The Scholarship was established in 1987 in memory of N Horton Smith, who joined the university in 1946 as assistant Lecturer in German and retired in 1979 as Professor of German.

Applications for the 2023/24 scholarship fund your travels in the following academic year (2024/25) are now open.
