Standard Student Bursaries
As in year’s past, CCP4 has made funding available for students, to help with the costs of attending Study Weekend, in the form of a bursary. All students are eligible for a standard bursary which covers the registration fee plus one night’s accommodation in halls. Bursaries will be given out to all students registering during the early bird registration period – 26th September to 11th November 2024.
Students obtaining a standard bursary will only need to pay for any additional night’s accommodation.
Students wishing to stay in the hotel rather than Rutland halls, will have 1 nights accommodation subsidised at the halls rate and will therefore pay a reduced rate for this night. Additional nights accommodation will need to be paid at the standard cost.
Please also note that should you obtain a bursary and cancel after the latest cancellation date of 6 December 2024 you WILL be liable to pay. This is because we have had a number of students obtaining bursaries and then cancelling last minute. Places can be transferred to other people at no charge.
Travel bursaries
Limited funds will also be made available to help pay travel costs for students and young post-docs from non-UK laboratories. Please send a separate letter, signed by your supervisor and stating the expected cost of travel in pounds sterling, to justify applications for travel support. Supervisors are asked to nominate only one candidate from their Laboratory. Delegates are expected to travel by the most economic means possible. Candidates from less favoured regions will be given preference.
Applications should be e-mailed to ccp4sw@stfc.ac.uk
