Students entering the third year of their research degree studies are not eligible to apply for an award. Grants, which are limited to a maximum of 100, are available for this purpose only and not for the typing and binding of theses. Students who receive a grant to assist with unexpected expenses may not apply for a grant to help with conference attendance in the same academic year. There is also provision in this fund to help doctoral students registered at the Institute of Education with the cost of conference attendance. Grants, up to a maximum of 200, are available to doctoral students who are self-financing or who hold scholarships which do not include an allowance for conferences.
Preference is given to applicants who are giving a presentation.
Students normally receive only one grant towards the cost of conference attendance during their total period of registration at the Institute. Students who receive a grant to assist with the cost of conference attendance may not apply for a grant to help with unexpected expenses in the same academic year. The completed form should be endorsed by your supervisor and then returned, together with any supporting documentation, to the Research Degrees Section of the Registry for consideration. Please bear in mind that the funds available are very limited and it may not be possible to consider a request for assistance if it is received after the sum allocated for the year has been exhausted. Grants are not awarded for expenses which are incurred in advance of the application.
