Capstone Editing Conference Travel Grant

Capstone Editing Conference Travel Grant for Postgraduate Research Students provides up to A$3,000 for one student per year to assist in covering the costs of attending a conference in relation to their degree. The purpose of attending the conference should be to assist with the students research or professional development. The student does not necessarily have to be presenting a paper or poster at the conference to be eligible to apply for the grant, though it is preferred. The grant can be used for flights, accommodation and conference registration up to a total of A$3,000. It is expected that a student attending a conference internationally may use all the available funds, whereas a student attending a conference domestically will use only part. Students will need to include an itinerary, budget and letter of support from their supervisor in their application.

Eligibility

You must be enrolled in a postgraduate research degree at an Australian or New Zealand university. You can be studying internally or externally. The grant is primarily for full-time students. If you are studying part time, you are only eligible to apply if you can demonstrate carer commitments or a medical condition that prohibit you from studying full time. You cannot apply if you are an employee or contractor of Capstone Editing (or a family member of an employee or contractor).
