The Keble Association Year in Review
What these disparate activities have in
common is a Keble student and funding
from the Keble Association.
In the past year the Keble Association
has continued to award numerous one-
off grants to JCR and MCR students to
support study projects, fund travel for
academic or humanitarian projects, and
to alleviate unforeseen hardship. The
intent behind these grants remains, as
ever, to ensure that Keble students can
pursue their studies as fully as possible
and make the most of their time at
the College.
The KA’s largest single grant ever of
£3,000 was awarded to the College
Choir to support its tour of the East
Coast of the United States. Elsewhere
in the arts, the KA helped to fund
Arts Week, the Keble Music Society,
students active in the Edinburgh Fringe,
as well as the launch of the new student
arts magazine.
Predictably, in the current economic
climate instances of unforeseen
financial distress not covered by
College hardship bursaries have
increased. This, combined with a
growing need for many students to
undertake additional study during
vacations at their own cost, has resulted
in the Association receiving a high
number of requests for grant support.
Over 500 Old Members of the College
now support the work of the Association
through annual donations. The KA
London Dinner was held once again
at Brooks’s Club in Mayfair. The
Association’s AGM was held, as usual,
on the same day as the College’s
Summer Dinner.
Both events drew Old Members from
across all age groups and matriculation
years to meet and catch up.
In these straitened times, the KA
needs more funding to meet the
increasing demand. We welcome new
members, joining is easy; we ask for
a minimum donation of just £25 a
year. A membership form is enclosed.

the KA.
