Conference bursaries

 
Up to fifteen bursaries are available for unsalaried members of the Association (e.g. PhD students); preference will be given to those who are presenting a paper, but if there are not fifteen applications from those presenting papers, applications from non-presenting attenders will also be considered.
 
Applications should be sent to the President, and must be received by the deadline for abstracts. If you are submitting an abstract and applying for a bursary, BOTH SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TOGETHER; if you are submitting your abstract electronically, you should include the application as another attachment to the main message. If you are not submitting an abstract, but are eligible for a bursary, then you are still encouraged to apply (either in hard copy or by email, to the President), as we have sometimes been able to award bursaries to non-presenting postgraduates.
 
Applicants for bursaries must be members of the Association, although applications for membership may be submitted at the same time as applications for bursaries (applications for membership should be sent to the Membership Secretary. The application form for the bursaries can be downloaded from the LAGB website from this address: http://www.lagb.org.uk/sponsorships.htm
 
The bursary normally covers the conference registration fee and travel within the UK, but not accommodation costs. Those presenting a paper will receive an additional amount of £40.00 as a contribution to other costs.
