Bursary query

Posted by Suchith Anand on June 13, 2013

Hi All,

I had a student from UCL phone me just now enquiring about the Early Bird as he  has also applied for student bursary. He has an accepted presentation and would like to apply for early bird if his bursary application is not successful . He also told that he didnt recieve any notification of his bursary submission (Addy, please confirm if those applied get autonotification of thier submission in survey monkey).

I told him as the deadline for bursary is 21st June (also i have no idea of number of applications recieved etc) i cannot comment on this but advised him to wait after 21st June to know the bursary outcome and then register for the conference. I suggest that if this student didnt get bursary, we need to take this into consideration and give him Early Bird registration as this was not his fault.

I have had a couple of these questions and I have said as long as they let me know as soon as they hear if they are not accepted for the bursary I will give them the early bird rate.  What is the students name so I can make a note?

The student name is Patrick (sorry i couldnt get the full name). He said he is a phD student from UCL working with Clare Ellul

That'll be Patrick Rickles I'd guess, as he is a co-author on Claire's paper...
