Financial Support

PhD Bursaries

We are happy to announce that we can offer twelve student bursaries, based on financial need and/or academic track record. These will be available to students who have had their abstracts accepted and entail a waiver of the registration fee.

Please send a 300 word statement to raam2012@lancs.ac.uk  in support of your application, including details of what other sources of support you have tried. Please send a signed statement on letterhead from your supervisor or current lecturer as a pdf file in the same email, or ask your referee to send their statement directly to the above email address. Your email should have the subject line ‘Student bursary’. All applications need to reach us by 4 May. Please also send us your application if you have already inquired informally.  

Non-student bursaries

In addition, we can offer ten bursaries for non-student participants who have had their abstracts accepted and need financial assistance in order to be able to attend the conference. These bursaries will be £200 each and entail a waiver of the registration fee.

Please send a 300 word statement to raam2012@lancs.ac.uk, detailing why you need financial assistance and what other sources you have tried.
