TRAVEL GRANTS AND AWARDS

The deadline for travel grant applications will be strictly adhered to this year to ensure a fair system is open to all members. All Grants are assessed by an independent committee selected by APEG Council.

APEG Travel Grants
APEG Travel Grants will be open to APEG members, who are within 5 years of completing their FRACP (or equivalent), who are either Australian or NZ citizens or who have been resident in Australia for one or more years at the time of the ASM and have submitted an abstract which has been accepted (to the ASM). Travel grants are not open to those persons who are only attending the Fellows Meeting.

Your head of department will be contacted to check your eligibility for the grant.

Please indicate when you submit your abstract if you would like to apply for a travel grant and an APEG representative will contact you closer to the date.

An allotment of money is put aside each year for travel grants. This is then shared amongst those who apply and fulfil the criteria. Therefore, there are no funds available for late applications.

You must indicate your application for the travel grant at the time of submitting your abstract. You must also declare any other requests for funding you have received, or applied for.

DEADLINE: 15th JUNE 2010
