WORTH

- Fellows (but not their families) receive one tourist class return trip from their home town to Florence (calculated no to exceed £1,200)

- Appropriate extensions to the five year rule will be allowed in the case of applicants whose academic career has been interrupted because of maternity leave or illness.
