How to apply for grants

Please write to the Committee Secretary (administrator@english.cam.ac.uk) with a brief outline of your proposal and a budget. The budget should indicate any other sources of funding, and how much you are requesting from the Committee.  Applications should be received one week before the date of termly Committee meetings.

Applicants should bear in mind that the Committee cannot fund college societies on a one-off or ongoing basis, but will always consider applications for Studio events which are free and open to all, particularly if they are concerned with performance, theatre and / or poetry.

Booking the Drama Studio

To make a request to use the Drama Studio for your event, please fill in the booking form, and send it to the English Faculty Reception via english@hermes.cam.ac.uk

If the Studio is available a provisional booking will be made, and the Faculty Receptionist will contact the Drama Studio Manager to review your request.  If approved, you will be contacted to confirm the booking, and sent a copy of the Terms and Conditions. The Drama Studio Manager will then be in touch to show you round the Studio and explain how it can be used, including a Health and Safety briefing.  The Faculty Receptionist will also make arrangements for you to have access to the Studio for your booking, and issue a swipe card, for which a deposit will be required.
