Anna Plowden Trust
CPD Awards for 2013
Once again, the Anna Plowden Trust is seeking applications from established conservators for grants towards the cost of attending either a short specialist course or a major conference during 2013. In both cases the Trust will consider funding up to 50% of the cost. In 2013 there will be four rounds of applications, with an extra one in January.
The Trust particularly welcomes applications from those teaching conservation and from conservators working in the private sector. Preference will also be given to applicants who work in a team, either public or private, where the skills they acquire with the help of an Anna Plowden Trust grant can be passed on to others.
Those applying should have more than five years' experience since completing their training. The closing dates for applications are January 8, March 19, June 18 and September 17, 2013. Application forms can be obtained from the Trust's website, or applicants can e-mail Penelope Plowden
