Sir Robert Hart Application Form

The Higginson Leadership Award was founded by a gift in 1954 from Wing-Commander John S Higginson, MA, CBE, OBE, who lived at Ballyward Lodge near Castlewellan in Co Down.  Wing-Commander Higginson was an RAF veteran of the Second World War, whose post-war activities became increasingly philanthropic in nature, focusing in particular on improving services and facilities for the youth of Northern Ireland.   Wing-Commander Higginson died in November 2000, but the award has been re-launched by his nephew and heir Andrew Higginson OBE, who has assumed the role of Trustee.  Andrew Higginson is Director of Higginson Associates Ltd, London-based Consultants in Conflict Resolution, Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Assistance.

The purpose of the award is to encourage a sense of social responsibility and inspirational leadership among students and alumni of the University, and to support stand alone activities or ventures, rather than participation in existing projects, which will demonstrate initiative and the ability to inspire or act as a role model for others.  Preference will be given to projects or proposals involving developmental or humanitarian aid overseas, in a post-conflict environment.  

Applicants must either be enrolled Queen’s students or Queen's alumni at the time of application.  

Awards made are normally in the region of £300 - £1800.

Students who have received the Higginson Leadership Award in recent years have led teams on projects to build resource centres and help impoverished communities in Romania, Kenya, Bolivia, Thailand, and Uganda.

Completed application forms, with references, should be returned to the Student Guidance Centre, Queen’s University Belfast, University Road, Belfast, BT7 1NN by 4.30pm on Wednesday, 25 April 2013.  You may be called for interview and you will be notified of the date in advance.

Further details and application forms may be downloaded from the here or obtained by emailing a request to sgc@qub.ac.uk.
