ISGS is offering student bursaries for conference attendance

The International Society for Gesture Studies will this year be offering up to 10 student bursaries up to a maximum of 500 Euros to cover the costs associated with attending the conference. Students whose abstracts have been selected for the conference can apply for the bursaries.

In order to apply, please send us your 500 word abstract (the same one that you handed in to apply for the conference) and complete the attached questionnaire BursaryQuestionaire.doc.

The selection committee will base their decision on the quality of the abstract and on financial need.

In order to select the awardees, the committee will consider the following criteria:

1) The quality of your accepted abstract (which will only be considered if you are the sole or the first author of it)

2) Your financial situation

- Please note that you can NOT apply if you have already been awarded an ISGS summer school stipend.

- Bursary funds will be dispensed at the conference. Please note that you can NOT be awarded both an ISGS student bursary AND the Best Student Paper Award. Therefore, if you were informed that you would be awarded a bursary, but also win the Best Paper Award competition, your bursary will be cancelled.

Application deadline is May 14th 2010.

Please send your application to: judith.holler@manchester.ac.uk
