BSPP Travel Fund

The BSPP Travel Fund is open to members of the British Society for Plant Pathology to assist with expenses for conferences, study tours and visits. Students are particularly encouraged to apply. Awards will be made by a Committee of the Board whose decision shall be final. In judging applications, the Committee will take into consideration the nature of the visit in relation to the work of the applicant and the aims of the Society. All applications will be considered on their merits. The size of award will depend upon the number of applications and the funds available, but will not exceed half the total costs of the proposed visit. Awards will not exceed £1,000. For any member, there must be an interval of at least 24 months between successive visits supported by BSPP Travel Awards. Recipients must have been a member of the Society for at least 12 months by the time that the conference or visit supported by the BSPP Travel Award takes place, or have a three-year membership. Postgraduate students may apply for funds to attend the BSPP Conferences if they have been a member for less than 12 months.
