Applicant information
Who can apply?
This bursary is open to members and non-members, and to all professional roles
How to apply
You must:
Submit an application form, which asks about the conference or course you would like to attend, your suitability for the bursary, how you'd use the experience to enhance your professional knowledge (max 200 words), whether you have a BSR membership and;
Submit a two-page CV (if you submit a CV longer than this, only the first two pages will be sent to the reviewing panel)
Further information
As this application round covers all our courses and conferences from January-July, you may be applying for a bursary to support your funding before or after attending an event
Due to this, please book your place on the course/conference you wish to attend, as you may not be successful until after registration has closed. You can still apply for a bursary for an event that you have already attended
Bursary money is reimbursed up to three weeks after receiving the claim. Claims must be made within three months of bursary being awarded; any claims received after this are not reimbursed
You may apply for more than one bursary, but if successful, you're ineligible for further bursaries for two years from the start date of your course/event
If awarded a bursary, you'll be given an expenses claim form to complete and return. Bursaries are a retrospective reimbursement so this isn't issued until after the course/conference
If you have any questions or require further information,
contact the Education team
