Overview

These bursaries are to enable members to attend a national conference which will enhance their hand therapy skills or knowledge. Applications will be judged anonymously and independently by members of the BAHT executive committee. The award is made to the applicant with the highest average score.

1. Bursary applications can be made prior to the course or up to 3 months afterwards. Funding can be put towards course fees, reasonable travel or subsistence costs. 
2. Please note: applicants will not receive funds until after the course or conference, when the post course/conference report has been received. 
3. Applications are welcome from previous winners. Applications which are late, do not meet the required word count or the application criteria will not be judged.
4. The number of bursaries available may vary annually and may not always be awarded.
5. If an award has not been made in a particular funding round it may be rolled over to the next deadline.
6. The decision of the judging panel is final.  BAHT will not enter into a further correspondence with the applicant. Unsuccessful applicants can resubmit an amended application for the next deadline.
7. Course places need to be secured by the applicant; BAHT will not arrange places. 
8. The marking panel reserves the right to determine the level of the award – this may not be the full value of the bursary or the amount applied for.
