“The FUSA Development Grant will help me attend the the SpineWeek 2023 International Conference. I am honoured to be able to present my scientific findings to spine societies from across the globe.” – Tyra, PhD student
Is there something you could be doing this year that will help your professional or personal development?
Every year, FUSA looks for high quality applications from students to undertake a professional development activity linked to their area of study (such as presenting at a conference or undertaking a workshop) or a personal development activity that will boost their capacities as a student leader.
If there is something that you think will get you a little further, or if there is something that will set you apart from the crowd then you can apply for FUSA support.
In the past, FUSA has helped students present their first paper at an academic conference, learn something new at specialist workshops, and helped students have professional experiences that they wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise.
You can read the 2024 Application Guidelines here for information on the Grant rules.
