Queens' and Clare Overseas Education Fund (QCOEF)Please click on the pictures to enlarge
The Queens’ and Clare Overseas Education Fund (QCOEF) is an open committee of students and fellows from Queens’ and Clare Colleges. QCOEF raises and allocates funds for education-related projects in lesser economically developed countries. Within the last year we have pledged funds to all kinds of projects across the world. The Queens and Clare Overseas Education Fund was conceived in 1984 as the “Queens’ and Clare Joint Overseas Bursary Scheme” to fund a the education of one Southern African student at the University every year. More recently QCOEF’s focus has changed and the new title was adopted in 1991 to demonstrate our interest in educational projects from all parts of the developing world. Applications for funding generally come from student contacts and projects are ideally small, community run and not supported by larger bodies. However, QCOEF has funded projects with other organisations such as Link Africa, Cambridge University Southern African Fund for Education (CUSAFE), or Cambridge Fund for Female Education (CAMFED). Links to projects often arise from years out or through old College members. For more information please download our Application Guidelines. Updated on November 9, 2009 The 2009-10 Committee
