The purpose of the scheme is to encourage research in the alcohol field and to improve the quality of service provided for those with drinking problems. These objectives are very much within the aims of the Council.
A small number of Studentships are available for people working in the alcohol field, who wish to acquire appropriate professional qualifications by following a taught course. The Council will make a one-off payment of £1,200 towards the fees for 2010/11 for successful students.
Applications should normally be for studies or courses beginning in the academic year 2010/11. In exceptional circumstances the Council will accept applications to finance existing courses. In such cases the applicant will need to provide a satisfactory progress report from the course tutor or supervisor. The AERC will not fund retrospectively. . . . . .
