REGISTRATION BURSARIES

The Division of Forensic Psychology (DFP) Committee are pleased to be able to offer a number of bursaries to attend the Annual DFP Conference.  These are open to all members of the DFP and are to attend the all four half days of the conference.

Bursaries will cover the conference fees. 

The DFP intend for the bursaries to offer colleagues support and the opportunity for attending the conference which may contribute to aspects of their professional and/or academic development. It is not the DFP committee’s intention to substitute any responsibility from an employer to support their continuing professional development, but to offer the bursary in cases where the member does not have the financial resources despite trying to secure this. 

The eligibility criterion for the bursary is:

• The applicant must be a member of the Division of Forensic Psychology
• The applicant must have made attempts to secure funding from their employer in the first instance 

Guidance on submitting an application for a bursary:

The only way to apply for a bursary is by using this form. No other form of application will be accepted

Bursaries will be allocated based on the order in which they are received and any applications received after the closing date will not be considered. Incomplete, incorrect form will not be accepted.

Successful bursary applicants from the previous years conference** need not apply for this years bursary.

 **e.g. if you attended the Conference under the bursary scheme in the last 5 years you can not apply for 2021 bursary

Please note that if you are successful in obtaining a bursary and then fail to attend the conference without evidence of acceptable extenuating (non-work related) circumstances, then you will be charged the cost price for the place.  This is to avoid the DFP paying colleagues who then choose simply not to attend.  This incurs an unrecoverable cost to the divisional membership.  This has unfortunately happened on DFP funded training events, so we are seeking to avoid this. 

Bursary applications were accepted until Friday 26th February 2021.
