Education Travel Grants

Education Travel Grants are available to Full Members of Breast Cancer Trials (BCT) who have limited access to financial support to attend BCT’s Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM). If you are not a full member, you will not be eligible for an Education Travel Grant. All travel and registration for the successful applicant will be organised through BCT.

Applications for Education Travel Grants will open in October.

The Education Travel Grant is up to the value of $2000, which includes return economy class airfares, accommodation for the duration of the ASM, the conference dinner, and free registration.
