The Wallace Watson Award is a travel scholarship associated with the University of Oxford. Established in 2001 in memory of a student who died during his studies there, the honour is granted annually to a student or group of graduate or undergraduate students by St. Catherine's College, Oxford. Each winner undertakes an expedition or travel of a challenging nature in a remote region of the world and gives a lecture on his or her experiences.
