Full and Early Career Member Bursaries

The maximum bursary available for a Scientific Meeting is £200 if the meeting is taking place within your country of residence and £300 if you have to travel outside of your country of residence to attend the meeting. The maximum bursary available for a Training Event or Course is £100 within your country of residence or £150 if travelling outside of your country of residence. For a Society online course virtual meeting or to access on-demand content the cost of the registration fee will be covered.

Full and Early Career Members can apply for a Bursary if they are a member of the Society and must apply in advance of the meeting (see criteria below for more details).

Full and Early Career Members applying for a Bursary to attend a Biochemical Society Scientific Meeting must submit a poster abstract for presentation at the meeting.

Full and Early Career Members can apply for a Bursary once a year. You cannot receive an Full and Early Career Member Bursary in the same year as a General Travel Grant.

If awarded, bursaries will be paid within three weeks of the event taking place.
