Bursaries and Grants
We have two types of bursaries to help those who would otherwise be unable to afford the trip to Cambridge.
They are for international delegates from low-income countries.
The scheme is highly competitive and bursaries are awarded to applicants offering the highest quality talks or posters.
Eligibility
The global bursary scheme is for anyone who is not from a high-income country (as defined here). You may also apply if you're not from a high income country but studying in the EU or USA, for instance.
