Between 2008 and 2015, the Learning and Leading programme offered Gap Scholarships to year 13 students wishing to take a 'year out' between school and university. These Scholarships consisted of a £4,000 grant plus mentor support and advice on how to plan and carry out a meaningful gap experience. Unfortunately, there are no such Scholarships available in 2016 as the programme is coming to an end in September 2016.
However, please see below to find out more about other ways in which the Society can support those planning a 'gap experience', and find out what previous students did with the opportunity to travel overseas.
There are many different options for taking a gap year between school and university or even after university and before starting work. You may decide to earn money to cover university costs; go travelling; volunteer on an overseas placement; take part in a cultural exchange; complete a short course; join an expedition or get some work experience.
Doing any or a combination of the above in the UK or overseas can provide valuable experience, transferable skills and enhance your CV.
We provide support in several ways for those planning their gap year. Our Gap Year Planning Toolkit is a useful resource that works through the process of researching and planning your year out - from developing your ideas and putting a plan in place, to keeping yourself safe while you're away.
On Wednesday 3rd February, 2016 we're running our Gap Travel Workshop, designed for those who'd like to take some time out to travel before or even after university but aren't sure how to begin planning their trip. To get a ticket or find out more, follow the link above.
Follow this link to our Pinterest board to find out about other opportunities that might be available to those wishing to head overseas for some meaningful travel.
If you're an academic or have a particular expedition in mind, you may be eligible to apply for one of our RGS-IBG grants. Find out more on our grants page.
Or if it's inspiration you're after, why not Meet the gap scholars to find out more about the experiences that previous Gap Scholars have enjoyed.

When: Thursday, June 11, 2015, 1:00-2:30 pm (EDT)
Register: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2329568637789737218
From the e-mail invitation:
Studies show that a growing number of U.S. families have incomes so low that the difficulties of their living situations may be masked by thinking of the poor as a homogeneous group. For instance, since the mid-1990s the number of families living on less than $2.00 in cash per person per day has more than doubled. Over the same interval, a smaller share of government social welfare spending has gone to the deeply poor.
This webinar will address issues such as how these families subsist, what public assistance they receive, and what their health challenges are. It will feature presentations from key Johns Hopkins researchers on this topic: sociologist Kathryn Edin, economist Robert Moffitt, and epidemiologist Jacky Jennings. It will be moderated by sociologist Andrew Cherlin.
Their presentations will be followed by 10-15 minutes of Q&A.
This webinar is co-hosted by the Hopkins Population Center and PRB's Center for Public Information on Population Research, with funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Joining the online webinar is free. Participants who choose to listen to the audio via telephone are responsible for their own standard long-distance rates.

text: Jerry Fent Oklahoma AG Counters Suit Challenging Unclaimed Property Fund Use By Associated Press • Jul 16, 2015 ssalonso / Flickr.com The Oklahoma attorney general is arguing in a court filing that a lawsuit challenging the state's use of its Unclaimed Property Fund should be dismissed. In a motion to dismiss filed Thursday in Oklahoma County District Court, Assistant Solicitor General Jared Haines argues that state laws governing the fund are constitutional and that the lawsuit is without merit. Oklahoma City attorney Jerry Fent filed the lawsuit last month, claiming the state is essentially operating a Ponzi scheme by routinely raiding the fund and using that money to fund state government operations. Attorney Alleges Use Of Unclaimed Property Fund Is Illegal By Associated Press • Jun 22, 2015 Joe Wertz / StateImpact Oklahoma An Oklahoma City attorney claims the state is essentially operating a Ponzi scheme by routinely raiding its Unclaimed Property Fund and using money that belongs to its citizens to fund state government operations. Attorney Jerry Fent alleges in a lawsuit filed Monday in Oklahoma County District Court that transfers from the Unclaimed Property Fund maintained by the state treasurer's office are illegal. Lawsuit: State Pension Board Law Violates Constitution By Oklahoma Watch & M. Scott Carter • Mar 13, 2015 A lawsuit filed Thursday asks the state Supreme Court to find that the State Pension Commission violated the Oklahoma Constitution because two of its seven members are legislators. Oklahoma City Attorney Jerry Fent's lawsuit said the pension commission is an executive branch entity. He said state Senator Rick Brinkley's membership on the commission violated the separation of power because Brinkley is a member of the legislative branch. Kent's lawsuit named commission chairman Ken Miller, the state treasurer, and Brinkley as defendants. Oral Arguments Set For Capitol Repair Challenge By Associated Press • Dec 2, 2014 Joe Wertz / StateImpact Oklahoma An Oklahoma Supreme Court referee is set to hear arguments at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday about whether a planned $120 million bond issue for improvements to the Capitol building should proceed. Oral arguments are scheduled to take place Tuesday before Supreme Court Referee Greg Albert, who will compile a report and forward it to the full court. Legislators, Policy Group Warn Of Potential Consequences Of Tax Case By eCapitol & Shawn Ashley & KGOU Staff • Nov 28, 2014 Joe Wertz / StateImpact Oklahoma Oklahomans potentially could see a significant tax increase if the Oklahoma Supreme Court sides with the plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the individual income tax cut measured approved and signed into law earlier this year, a group of Republican legislators and a representative of a conservative public policy group warned Wednesday. Oklahoma Supreme Court To Hear Tax Cut Challenge Tuesday By Associated Press • Oct 14, 2014 Joe Wertz / StateImpact Oklahoma A lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of legislation that cut Oklahoma's top income tax rate is being taken up by the state's highest court. The Oklahoma Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments Tuesday in a lawsuit that asks the court to invalidate the legislation and prevent it from going into effect. The lawsuit was filed by Oklahoma City attorney Jerry Fent, who has successfully challenged other legislation in the past. State's High Court To Review Capitol Repair Decision By eCapitol • Sep 22, 2014 Oklahoma Capitol Improvement Authority members voted unanimously Monday to seek the Oklahoma State Supreme Court's validation of the legislation authorizing a bond issue to fund improvements to the State Capitol. Attorney Challenges Capitol Overhaul Bond Plan By Associated Press • Sep 16, 2014 Meghan Blessing / KGOU An Oklahoma City attorney is challenging the Legislature's plan for a $120 million bond issue to pay for improvements to the state Capitol. Attorney Jerry Fent filed a notice Tuesday with the governor and attorney general indicating his opposition to the plan. Fent claims the bill authorizing the bond issue was an unconstitutional special law because it addressed only one state building. Fent's formal opposition to the plan is expected to delay the issuing of the bonds to pay for the renovations to the nearly 100-year-old building. Attorney Asks Oklahoma Supreme Court To Dismiss His Challenge To Oil And Gas Law By Joe Wertz • Sep 16, 2014 Joe Wertz / StateImpact Oklahoma An Oklahoma City attorney who challenged the constitutionality of a bill that changed the effective tax rate levied on oil and gas drillers asked the Oklahoma Supreme Court on Monday to dismiss his lawsuit. From The Oklahoman's Rick Green: In Lawsuit Over Oil And Gas Tax Law, Two Ways To 'Test' A Revenue Bill In Oklahoma By Joe Wertz • Jul 30, 2014 Joe Wertz / StateImpact Oklahoma The State Supreme Court on July 29 heard a lawsuit and constitutional challenge to House Bill 2562, a measure that would change the effective state tax rate levied on oil and gas production. Both parties agreed that the measure was written to reduce taxes, but is HB 2562 a "revenue bill?" That definition is important because this court battle isn't about policy, it's about procedure.

One word sums up the logistics outlook for Botswana: landlocked. The country is the only one of the seven Sub-Saharan states that we are analysing that does not boast a maritime border and as such scores lower than its peers, with the country's imports and exports the most expensive to transport due to their distance to the sea. We argue that Botswana, however, will play a role in the development of autos logistics in Africa, as although it is reliant on other states for its international trade connections, its reliance is on two of the most developed countries logistically in the area: South Africa and Namibia. Botswana's role for automotives will be one of demand and also transit. A manufacturing and export role looks unlikely due to the cost aspect involved in shipping to Botswana.
Key Points
Landlocked position decreases Botswana's attractiveness logistically;
The country benefits from being reliant on the relatively well-developed logistics networks of South Africa and Namibia;
Botswana's well-developed transport network aids the country by offering quick links to its neighbours;
Botswana is part of a larger Southern Africa transit network;
Landlocked position increases the cost of goods imports and exports;
Competitive trade bureaucracy eases the import and export burden.
Reliant On Its Neighbours
Botswana's landlocked status leaves it wholly reliant on its neighbours to meets its international shipping needs, with the country's imports and exports handled by either Namibia's port of Walvis Bay or South Africa's port of Durban.
While Botswana's lack of a maritime border is a considerable drag on the country's trade sector, the country is at least reliant on two of Sub-Saharan Africa's most developed states in terms of logistics. According to data from the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index, Namibia and South Africa's port infrastructure is well developed, with the countries ranked in first and second position respectively when compared with the other Sub-Saharan states that we are analysing (Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania.)
|Reliant On Well Connected And Developed Neighbours
|LHC: Port Infrastructure Ranks. RHC: UNCTADstat Liner Connectivity Ranking
Namibia and South Africa and by extension Botswana's maritime operations are further boosted by the relatively high level of liner connectivity at their ports. South Africa is the continent's outperformer, boasting the most liner connections and Namibia also scores highly, just behind the West African states of Nigeria and Ghana.
A landlocked state's reliance on its neighbours always adds a layer of uncertainty to a country's logistics operations. BMI has previously highlighted this point as a problem for landlocked Ethiopia, which has faced issues due to its reliance on Djibouti. Landlocked states are at the mercy of increases in port rates and their cargo often takes second billing to that of the country that the port is in during periods of congestion. Access to ports for landlocked states is also reliant on good political links, as political fallouts usually lead to tit-for-tat responses, with access to ports being a major bargaining chip.
In the case of Botswana, the country boasts good relationships with both Namibia and South Africa, with both countries eager to perform the role as maritime gateways and also to have their transport networks benefit from transit trade. We therefore believe that unlike other landlocked African states Botswana's link to the sea is secure.
Developed Transport Network To Ensure Quick Connections
The lack of a port for Botswana leaves the country more heavily reliant on its other transport modes. Road and rail links aid a landlocked country in getting the quickest possible access to a neighbour's port and Botswana's reliance on strong transport links with its neighbours is in BMI's opinion why the country is a transport outperformer in comparison with the other Sub-Saharan states that we are comparing (no data is available for Angola). According to data from the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index Botswana's road and rail infrastructure is ranked second below Namibia.
|Transport Network Outperformers
|LHC: Global Competitiveness Report Road Infrastructure Rankings. RHC: Global Competitiveness Report Rail Infrastructure Rankings
Botswana also benefits from its reliance on the transport networks of Namibia and South Africa. The country requires both countries' transport networks to get to the sea. Out of the Sub-Saharan states that we are analysing, Namibia's road and rail infrastructure ranks in first place. We are not analysing South Africa's autos logistics role, as we are concentrating on more up-and-coming countries in this area; however, as part of our analysis of Botswana we highlight that if we were to insert data for South Africa into the mix the country's road and rail infrastructure would be ranked second after Namibia. This therefore places Namibia, South Africa and Botswana in the top three positions for road and rail infrastructure.
Investment in Botswana's links to ports continues. The Trans-Kalahari road corridor via Gobabis to Walvis Bay is already in operation and is set to be complemented by the Trans-Kalahari Railway. The link is being developed with the aim of catering for Botswana's vast coal resources, positioning Walvis Bay as the port of choice over South African facilities. The project highlights that inter regional transport projects are at the forefront of development projects and so there exists the potential for the development of other railway links between Botswana and its neighbouring states. BMI also highlights that the development of the coal-specific railway will ensure the commodity's transport needs are met, without impeding on Botswana's national railway network, thereby decreasing the likelihood of cargos such as containers having to fight for space in the country's railway network.
Playing A Transit Role
Botswana's autos logistics needs are geared towards the new and used car markets - there are as yet no manufacturing or assembly of vehicles taking place in the country. Demand is at present largely driven by government consumption - the consumer outlook is poor at present - or by Botswana's growing coal and diamond mining industries. Given that the country is far from any ports, we believe that it will likely remain a destination for completely built vehicles, either new or used, rather than assembly kits.
|Part Of A Bigger Transit Network
|Map of Southern Africa
Botswana, however, also boasts another autos logistics role, one of transit. The country is used by Zimbabwean importers of used cars who import vehicles through Namibia's Walvis Bay and drive them through Botswana on their way back to their own landlocked country. However, we note here that due to a recent move by Botswana to ban imported second-hand vehicles that are more than five years old from its roads, in solidarity with an earlier move by Namibia, this trade is in part disrupted. Some Zimbabwean importers have been choosing to load vehicles onto containers for their journey through Botswana, thereby not driving them on Botswana's roads and so not falling foul of the new law, while others have begun opting to import them via South Africa's port of Durban instead.
Importing Costly
Botswana's demand for autos imports and its role as a transit point for Zimbabwean imports means that currently the main logistical concern for automotives firms is the ease by which goods can be imported into Botswana.
As a landlocked state Botswana has attempted to make the process of importing as easy as possible, as the country will suffer from longer lead times due to its distance from a port. The country appears to have tried to reduce the bureaucratic hurdles faced by importers with only seven documents required for import. This makes the country highly competitive with its peers ranked in joint first position with Ghana, Kenya and Namibia out of its seven peers.
|Lessening The Bureaucratic Nightmare, But Still Costly
|LHC: Documents To Import (Number). RHC: Cost to Import (US$ Per Container)
Botswana is, however, let down by the cost to import, which places it at the bottom of our table of seven Sub-Saharan states. The issue of longer lead times and the distance required to travel to get Botswanan imports from ports into the country, all weigh down on its import sector.
As highlighted the country ranks lowest out of its seven peers, but BMI notes the increase in cost to import into Botswana is considerably more than its peers. According to World Bank data, it costs an average of US$3,445 to import a container into Botswana US$755 per container more than the second to last ranked Angola, where it costs US$2,690 per container.
BMI believes that this will deter any potential plans to develop Botswana's domestic assembly of automobiles, given the increased costs involved with doing so in Botswana in comparison with any of the other countries we are analysing.
Export Role Unlikely To Develop
The belief that Botswana's role in the automotives sector will remain as that of an importer and a transit nation means it is unlikely the country will attract automotives firms seeking to develop assembly plants in Africa. As highlighted, the country's landlocked position and the relatively high cost to import goods will work against Botswana.
The unlikelihood of Botswana developing a role in automotives assembly therefore means that automotives firms will not be seeking to explore export options in Botswana. If they do in future, BMI highlights they would find the same drawbacks that face them in the import sector. Although Botswana's export bureaucracy is competitive, ranked joint first with Tanzania, with just six documents required for export, the country is costly to export from.
|Export Over Import View Holds
|LHC: Cost To Export (US$ per Container). RHC: Botswana Cost To Import & Export (US$ Per Container)
It costs US$2,945 per container to export from Botswana, placing it last out of its Sub-Saharan African peers, making it US$690 per container more expensive than to export from second to last ranked Kenya. BMI has previously noted a pattern with other Sub-Saharan African states that it is cheaper to export than it is to import, this also holds true for Botswana, with exporters saving US$500 per container compared with importers.

CNP and Natixis form infrastructure partnership
French insurer CNP Assurances plans to build a €2bn infrastructure debt portfolio over the next three years through a new co-investment partnership with banking group Natixis – the latest such agreement for the lender.
The firms said on Monday that they had signed a memorandum of understanding where Natixis will lead the origination of deals and CNP Assurances will select the deals in which it wants to participate.
CNP Assurances plans to target investments worth between €50m and €150m and build a portfolio of up to €2bn over the next three years. French bank Natixis will keep a "significant portion" of each deal on its balance sheet and handle asset servicing and administration.
Both parties will agree on criteria such as the geographic location, sectors and currencies for the projects in which they invest.
CNP Assurances said in a statement that it "believes that infrastructure debt offers interesting alternative investment opportunities with the benefit of greater asset portfolio diversification and an attractive risk-return profile".
This is the latest infrastructure partnership for Natixis, one of the largest project finance lenders in Europe. Natixis announced plans to co-invest in infrastructure debt through joint ventures late last year and formed its first partnership with Belgo-Dutch insurer Ageas. The two announced plans in February to contribute €100m to a consortium of investors for the construction of three French prisons.
The co-investment structure allows Natixis to continue to participate in core business while meeting new banking capital rules, which make the long-dated loans required in infrastructure projects more difficult for banks to extend.
In another example of banks seeking new ways to manage their infrastructure debt businesses in the face of new regulation, UK bank Lloyds confirmed plans in May to move £800m of loans it has made to UK social housing associations and universities to its insurance arm, Scottish Widows. Scottish Widows will use the loans to back its annuity business while Lloyds' project-finance lending staff will continue to make new loans with the insurer's money.
Natixis also said in December that it is seeking to launch a debt fund to encourage more co-investments in infrastructure finance with smaller pension schemes and institutions.
Data provider Preqin estimates that there are currently 149 unlisted infrastructure funds targeting $94bn of commitments from investors. It said that 12% of those were debt and mezzanine strategy funds, the fastest growing strategy in the market.

Frankie Gavin Has a Busy Schedule Set For 2013
Frankie Gavin believes he has bigger fish to fry than Jason Welborn as he prepares to defend the British welterweight title against his local rival.
Birmingham's Gavin, Britain's only world amateur champion, faces Black Country challenger Welborn at a sold-out Walsall Town Hall in a rare local outing.
The bout is Gavin's first title defence having picked up the famous Lonsdale belt against former world champion Junior Witter in November and he is keen to stay busy.
The 27-year-old hopes to beat Welborn and defend the belt two more times before moving to European and world level as quickly as possible.
"I've been told I'll be fighting again in April and then in June," Gavin said. "Then in September I want another fight, perhaps for the European title or maybe an international or interim world title. By the end of the year I'll be ready for a world title.
"It's important to me to keep busy and keep this belt but if the two further defences don't happen quickly and I get offered a European title shot or something different of that stature then I'll take it.
"It's important that I keep winning. That's all that matters to me.
"I've got a winner's mentality. I just want to win, win, win. Whatever it takes."
While Welborn can hardly boast the pedigree and technical acumen of his accomplished opponent, Gavin cannot take the Rowley Regis fighter lightly.
"Gavin's a good boxer and will expect me just to come forward, missing my shots and making him look good," the 26-year-old (11-1, 5KOs) admitted.
"But I've been working on technique and will be taking the fight to him, so if he thinks he can stand with me then he can try it.
"In my recent fight against Scott Haywood I broke the guy's jaw and I wasn't even trying to do that, it just came because of my technique and my looseness. I don't try to force the big shots, they just come."
Friday night's joint bill-topper sees Walsall's Martin Gethin clash with Hove's Ben Murphy for the vacant British lightweight crown.
