Irvine Aitchison Memorial Fund Bursary

Each year, the Irvine Aitchison Memorial Fund and Vision Aid Overseas (VAO) offer two bursaries to enable dispensing or optometric students to join a VAO group travelling to Africa for two weeks during the summer to experience working conditions and eye problems very different from those found in the UK. 

Please find the information poster and application form regarding the bursary for 2012 below.
