Donations from alumni and Friends of Lincoln College form the basis of number of funds to which Lincoln students can apply. 

A condition of receiving a grant from any of the funds is that, should you be successful, you must be willing for the amount of money you receive to be publicised by the Development Office.  You may also be asked to write an article for the annual magazine, Imprint.

Details of the funds are below, please read carefully before applying.

Old Members' Annual Fund

The Old Members' Annual Fund is an amount of money set aside from the Annual Appeal each year for group projects which will enhance the life of students at the College. A group of Old Members, College Officers and JCR and MCR representatives meet each Hilary Term to consider applications to the Fund. Previous successful applications have included:  refurbishment of common rooms;  redesigning the anteroom to Deep Hall; equipping the exercise area in the Boat House; a subsidised MCR exchange dinner;  and Film Society equipment.

Having supported sports and refurbishment projects in the past, this year we are likely to prioritise applications  to support the arts although other applications  will be considered.

Applications are now closed for the year 2012-2013. 

Old Members' Exhibition Trust Grants

The OMET funds a number of grants for individual or small group (fewer than 20 people) projects. 
 
The OMET makes grants of up to £500 per individual.  Proposals for funding should have some Collegiate or University link and must be seen to improve College life or its reputation in some way. Previous successful applications have included: small College society projects; individual trialling, training, and touring for university sports teams; moot costs;  and microfinance projects.

Applications are now closed for the year 2012-2013.  

Senior Tutor's Fund

This fund is maintained by the Annual Fund and provides grants for proposals linked to academic purposes, directly relating to the individual's exam school (e.g. money for going on archaeological dig). It is primarily for undergraduates.  Applications are accepted year round - please contact Jemma Underdown to apply.
