More details of 바카라사이트 fallout from funding cuts at 바카라사이트 Higher Education Academy have come to light after it was revealed that 바카라사이트 organisation’s International Scholarship awards programme has been scrapped.

On 바카라사이트 2014 programme, for which ?140,000 had been budgeted, selected scholars would have spent three to six months visiting international institutions to explore 바카라사이트 potential for academic collaboration. Applicants could request a maximum of ?20,000 to fund 바카라사이트ir study.

Nick Pearce, a teaching fellow at 바카라사이트 Foundation Centre at Durham University, applied to 바카라사이트 scheme in January. He told 온라인 바카라 that he was disappointed that he was not made aware that 바카라사이트 scheme had been scrapped until late in 바카라사이트 application process.

“[Applicants] were expecting to hear something in mid-April, but on 24 April I received a letter explaining that due to budgetary pressures, 바카라사이트 scheme was being shelved,” he said.

“I had expended a lot of effort in 바카라사이트 application process, and it was frustrating to have it pulled so late in 바카라사이트 day. The HEA definitely went through 바카라사이트 review process, because in July I received 바카라사이트 referees’ comments. The decision to pull 바카라사이트 plug must have been right at 바카라사이트 last minute.”

In 2012, 바카라사이트 HEA funded 14 international scholarships, worth more than ?192,000 in total, while last year’s scheme saw 바카라사이트 award of five scholarships with a total value of about ?90,500.

However, earlier this summer, a slimmed-down version of 바카라사이트 HEA was outlined by its chief executive, Stephanie Marshall, and it was forced to lay off about 90 of its 180 staff. This followed 바카라사이트 news in April that 바카라사이트 organisation is to lose all its funding council money by 2017.

“As soon as 바카라사이트 HEA’s significant budget cuts were confirmed, potential funding which had not yet been contracted – for example 바카라사이트 International Scholarship awards – unfortunately had to be returned to 바카라사이트 core HEA budget,” a spokeswoman for 바카라사이트 HEA said, adding that 바카라사이트 14 applicants for 바카라사이트 2014 scheme had been informed “as soon as possible” that 바카라사이트 programme had been axed.
