Bursaries for the Annual Meeting
A small number of bursaries are available to help unsalaried members of the Association (e.g. PhD students) to attend the Annual Meeting of the LAGB to present a paper. There are three types of bursaries available:
Best Student Abstract Bursary
The Best Student Abstract Bursary is awarded to the student member whose abstract was rated highest by our international peer review committee. The award includes:
- Free registration for the entire conference
- Conference dinner
- Up to £250 reimbursement of accommodation costs
- Up to £250 reimbursement for UK-internal travel costs to and from the conference
Presenter Bursary
Presenter Bursaries are available for student/unwaged members who have had an abstract selected for presentation at the conference. The award includes:
- Free registration for the entire conference
- Up to £250 expenses towards UK-internal travel costs to and from the conference and accommodation/subsistence
Attendance Bursary
Attendance Bursaries are available for student/unwaged members who submitted an abstract that was unsuccessful in being selected for presentation at the conference. These awards are only made if sufficient funds are available after the Presenter Bursaries have been awarded. The award includes:- Free registration for the entire conference
- Up to £100 expenses towards UK-internal travel costs to and from the conference and accommodation/subsistence
How to apply
While applicants for bursaries must be members of the Association, applications for membership may be submitted at the same time as applications for bursaries. For LAGB2024 Newcastle, completed bursary applications must be received by 5pm British Summer Time, Friday 14th June 2024.
- All abstracts should be submitted in the regular way, as detailed in the call for papers.
- Members who also wish to apply for a bursary should email conference@lagb.org.uk to register their interest in a bursary from the email address they gave to the LAGB when joining the Association. Please tell us which bursar{y/ies} you would like to be considered for and whether you have access to additional funds, e.g. departmental travel scholarships.
- Successful applicants will be notified by email before the end of July.
