Application Guidelines
BSECS is a Registered Charity, Number 299756
Purpose of Scheme
The BSECS events funding scheme offers small grants up to a maximum of £250 to support
conferences and other events which reflect the aims and objectives of the Society (these can be
found in our constitution, which is available on our website at http://www.bsecs.org.uk). Funds
are limited and so this scheme is competitive. To qualify for funding, applicants must show that
the event is important and timely, and will be required to demonstrate that they will use any
BSECS funding to support participation in the event by postgraduate and early career scholars.
Applications will be assessed by the BSECS committee, and their decision is final and binding.
Application Timetable
Applications must be received by either 1 April or 1 October in any given year to support events
taking place over the next 12 months. Applications will be assessed in a timely manner, and
applicants will normally be informed of the committee’s decision within 60 days.
Completing the Form
You must complete an electronic version of this official application form and submit it to
treasurer@bsecs.org.uk. Do not exceed the maximum word count or your application may be
