Funding and Bursaries

The BAC exists to promote the discipline of Cytopathology and, as a non-profit making organisation, any surplus money goes back into the Association to serve you as a member.

There are two options.

  • Bursary scheme for continuing education - Funding is available to support registration fees and /or travel expenses for BAC members of over one year's standing with the society.

  • Mina Desai Bursaries - The BAC will award a bursary for a European conference, up to £500 per year and one for an international meeting up to £1000 every three years

The Mina Desai Bursaries are targeted at early career participants.

Applicants will need to have been a BAC member for at least one year and must submit a post-event article, for publication in the the Scan section of Cytopathology or on the BAC website, of approx. 1000 words.

Funding is entirely at the discretion of the BAC Executive.
