Travel Grants

APAC encourages members to apply for a bursary to support attendance at APAC meetings and other relevant events. APAC has ring-fenced funds to provide travel bursaries for members.

Bursaries can cover modest travel expenses and the event registration fee (when applicable) at the discretion of the Executive Committee.

How is the award of the bursary decided?

  • APAC’s elected Executive Committee makes the final decision on awarding bursary
  • In cases of high demand, applicants who have not received a bursary in the previous three years will be prioritised

How is the bursary paid?

  • The applicant forwards receipts to the APAC Treasurer, who reimburses the costs after the event by bank transfer or cheque payment
  • If the applicant is not able to attend the event, we regret that travel expenses cannot be reimbursed.

Executive Committee decisions are final. Where applications have been received from members of the Executive Committee or their affiliate institutions, the relevant member of the Executive Committee will have no part in the discussion to award the travel bursary.
