Applications for bursaries to support students (both postgraduate and undergraduate) presenting at this year’s PALA conference in Kent are now open. The form can be found here: http://www.pala.ac.uk/the-pala-student-bursary.html. The deadline for applications is 6 March. You are encouraged to apply before you know whether or not your abstract has been accepted. Once you have completed your section of the form, please pass it to your referee or supervisor, who should complete their section and email it to the PALA Treasurer, Joe Bray, at j.bray@shef.ac.uk. You will be notified of whether or not your application has been successful by the end of March. Please do email the Treasurer if you have any questions about the process.
In addition to the student bursary, PALA also offers small bursaries from the Roger Fowler/ Mary Ellen Ryder fund to support those wishing to attend the conference who are either unwaged or from developing countries. The fund is maintained by the generous donations of PALA members and others, and the number of bursaries that are able to be awarded depends on available funds. If you wish to make an application for a bursary from this fund please contact Joe Bray at j.bray@shef.ac.uk.
