New College releases new video about the Brettschneider Fund

New College has released a new video about the Brettschneider Fund, which provides opportunities for study, work and travel between Cornell University and the University of Oxford.

During Hilary Term, we announced that New College had received a generous donation to supplement the existing support that it receives from the University of Oxford Brettschneider Fund from benefactors Michael, Cathinka, Nicola and Jon Borkan. New College, along with Merton, Pembroke, and Nuffield Colleges, all benefit from the University Fund.

Members of the New College community can apply for funding for activities including visiting Cornell for:

• Workshops, conferences or seminars;
• Summer schools;
• Internships;
• Archival or Library research;
• Collaboration with Cornell researchers;
• Thesis research; and
• Staff exchanges.

Also, the New College fund is able to support Cornell visitors to New College so they can make use of broader college facilities. For example, a Professor from Cornell University could apply for funding to cover New College's SCR costs.

There are usually five to seven awards available through the Brettschneider Fund and interested parties should monitor the Fund's official web page for news regarding applications for the 23-24 cycle. If you are unsure whether your proposed activity is eligible, please email trusts@admin.ox.ac.uk.
