Guidelines

Membership Bursaries are intended for those who are experiencing difficulty in finding sufficient resources to cover the membership subscription or attendance at a national conference.   

  • This bursary is specifically for those whose finances have been affected by Covid 19 and the subsequent lockdown(s)
  • Applicants must have held an active membership on 23 March 2020
  • Applicants should give a brief outline of their circumstances in support of their request.
  • For Membership, Conference and Area Day bursaries a decision will be made by a sub-committee consisting of Chair, Chair Elect, Past Chair and Secretary. The application should be sent to the Secretary.

Please note that we expect to receive a greater number of applications than we have bursaries available and not all applications may be successful. Those awarded a bursary are eligible to receive only one bursary at a time. We will assess applications against the eligibility criteria using information from the personal statement on the application.
