The BES regularly announces bursary schemes for students and post-docs to help with attendance at our own activities or those of other epigraphic bodies. Please watch this space for information on upcoming bursary schemes. Information on how to apply will be released on or before the opening date indicated with the scheme. The Society's Steering Committee will endeavour to review your application within two weeks of the closing date (or earlier if the closing date is near the date of the event) and the Secretary will then inform you of the outcome of your application. Please note that our bursaries are contributions to travel (or, where applicable, accommodation) expenses; we cannot normally cover the full cost of attendance (etc.). Note also that the Society asks all our bursars to provide us with a short report of their experiences from the event or training they participated in within one month after its conclusion.
