Financial Assistance

We hope to make AWCBR 2025 accessible to everyone by providing financial support where possible. We are delighted to be able to offer two financial assistance schemes in 2025: A Childcare support grant and a Student/ECR travel grant. To be considered for either grant please complete the appropriate form below.

If you have child caregiving responsibilities that will be affected by you attending AWCBR and work for/attend a New Zealand based-institute, you are eligible to apply for this funding. Applications close 23 June 2023

To be eligible for a travel grant, a student must be a postgraduate student or ECR (Awarded 2019 onwards, adjusted for career breaks. Your PhD is considered "awarded" when you receive notification that the requirements of your PhD have been met) attending or working for a New Zealand University and be the presenting author of a paper at AWCBR. Travel grants are made from funds provided by the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand. AWCBR reserves the right to administer these funds as its Executive Committee sees fit. This form neither implies that any funds will be available for student/ECR grants in this or any subsequent year nor that all available funds in any year will necessarily be distributed. Payments will be made after the conference.

Please note that completion of this form should be accompanied by a supporting letter from your supervisor/mentor which is due on the 23 June 2025 and must be emailed to info@awcbr.org
