For the fifth consecutive year, the Land Rover ‘Go Beyond’ Bursary is offering funding
and the loan of a Land Rover Defender 110 to undertake a journey of a lifetime.

Run in partnership with the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), one of Land Rover’s
six Global Humanitarian & Conservation Partners, the award this year has trebled
Land Rover’s funding to £30,000. In addition to the loan of a vehicle, a bursary
of £15,000 is available and applicants can apply for a discretionary fund of up 
to £15,000 to support essential expedition-related costs.

Paul Rose, Vice President of Expeditions & Fieldwork, RGS-IBG explained: “The Land
Rover ‘Go Beyond’ Bursary offers recipients an amazing opportunity to take a journey
to promote a wider understanding and enjoyment of people, places and environments.”
The journey may connect the team with schools, local communities or projects but,
whatever its aim, the team “will be expected to inspire and engage others, both 
from the field and on return”.

2012, in London.
