Retraining funds available for refugee academics

The Council for Assisting Refugee Academics is looking for individuals
who:

- Hold refugee status in the UK
- Were involved in academic work (as lecturers or researchers) outside
the UK
- Wish to return to academia or related professional work in the UK

CARA offers grants to academics who hold some form of refugee
status in the UK and who need to re-qualify or return to university in
order to secure employment or continue their research. CARA grants
cover expenses such as course, exam or bench fees; associated
research, travel and equipment costs; conference costs and childcare
expenses.

CARA promotes equal opportunities and particularly welcomes
applications from women who meet its criteria.

If you know someone who fits this description, please contact CARA.

CARA’s Allocation Committee will meet to review all applications in
early September 2006. Applicants will be notified of the decision of
the Committee by the week of 11 September 2006.

Because CARA’s funds are limited and it aims to support as many
individuals as possible, priority is given to requests from individuals
who have not received assistance from CARA before.

CARA staff are happy to discuss potential applications and to provide
support to individuals throughout the application process. To learn
more or find out if you are eligible to apply for a CARA grant, contact
Laura Wintour, Programme Officer, on 020 7021 0884 or at
[log in to unmask]

The deadline for applications is 5.00pm on Monday 3 July 2006
