Hello,

I am writing to let you know about an important Scholarship
opportunity for your students.

World Nomads has partnered with Footprint Guide Books to offer an
exciting Travel Writing Scholarship.

The scholarship recipient will receive mentorship from travel writer
David Stott, plus the opportunity to be published in the Footprint
India Handbook. The assignment will take the student on location to
Kerala, India, where they will enjoy a unique tour of the River Nila
region area including rare interactions with folk artists, musicians,
potters and  ritualistic healers.

World Nomads is passionate about travel and our full Travel Scholarship

We would appreciate you forwarding this information on to your students
and lecturers, as this opportunity is open to students studying in
any faculty.  We also ask that you upload the opportunity onto the
relevant section of your website  which promotes external opportunities,
and of course any other internal marketing platforms you have available,
such as your school newspaper.

I have attached some text below that you can copy and paste directly
