BJCA Newswire –  25th October 2024

Launching today – BJCA Travel Grants 

We are delighted to announce that we are launching a travel grant scheme! We appreciate that study budget and personal financial restraints may mean that trainees are not always able to attend important career-enhancing events that they may wish to. Thanks to industry sponsorship, we are able to award grants of between £500 and £750 per trainee, towards attendance at an international conference or event. Applications will be anonymously reviewed and scored by an independent panel.

To apply, please complete this form. The deadline for our first round of applications is 6th December 2024.
