Postgraduate QRA Meetings Awards

A number of awards are provided each year to enable a greater number of postgraduates to attend QRA meetings (namely, any of the Field Meetings or the Annual Discussion Meeting). Any registered postgraduate who is a current member of the QRA is eligible to apply (regardless of duration of membership); applications are particularly encouraged from students in their first year of study. The awards normally cover 50% of the costs of the meeting (excluding travel to the venue); the remaining 50% must be found from other sources.

The main criteria for the distribution of awards will be (i) relevance to research topic, and (ii) financial need. A brief supporting letter from your supervisor must accompany the application. Please note that postgraduates are not permitted to apply for funds to attend the QRA Postgraduate Symposium, since this meeting already receives financial support from the QRA.

Recipients will be required to submit a short report of expenditure to the Awards Officer (for files only) not more than 3 months after completion of the meeting. Once the report has been received, members will be eligible to apply immediately for other QRA awards (i.e. the usual 12 month moratorium on further applications will not apply).
