Lorne Scholarships 2009

Lorne travelling scholarships

The SPG offers three travelling scholarships (each worth $600) to enable students to attend the Lorne Protein conference (see Note 1). Two of these scholarships, sponsored by GE Healthcare and BioRad are open to all current research students. The third, the Greg Ralston Memorial Award, sponsored by the SPG, is open only to students who completed their honours year in the announced year and are enrolling as a PhD student in the year after. All students who apply for the Greg Ralston Award are also automatically considered for the open awards. All applicants must be members of the SPG.

Students who have previously been awarded an open fellowship will not normally be eligible for a further award. However, students who have received the Greg Ralston Award in previous years are eligible for the open awards.

Students must be present at the Thomson Prize Night at the announced date when the awards will be announced, in order to be eligible for any of the awards. Cheques will be presented to winners at the Lorne Protein Conference the following February.

Note 1:  Please consult Liza Cubeddu if you wish to use this prize to attend a peptide or protein conference other than the Lorne Protein Conference.

Applicants should submit in a single pdf or rtf document to Liza Cubeddu:
