During the early part of 2008, EUSE announced the launch of the “EUSE Scholarship Programme”.

In September 2008, four scholarships were awarded to: Angela Cogbill (England); Barbora Jancova (Czech Republic); Ann-Kristin Sundqvist (Finland); Shauna Smyth (Northern Ireland). By April 2009, the four study visits had been completed and a copy of each of their reports are now available for downloading.
