Students may apply to the Canadian Bioethics Society for travel bursaries on a needs basis.
Any student who is a member of the Canadian Bioethics Society is eligible for the Student Travel Bursary.

Eligible students should clearly demonstrate the academic benefit of attending the conference.
In order to obtain the bursary, students must become members of the Canadian Bioethics Society (if they are not already) and must also register for the 21st Annual Canadian Bioethics Conference.
How to apply: Applications must be submitted to studentscbs@gmail.com on or before the 15th April 2010 deadline.
Applications must include:
-
-
A one-page document describing the benefits you would derive from attending the conference and explaining how the travel bursary is necessary to facilitate your attendance at the Conference.
-
Proof of studentship (See definition of a student above).
Applications will be processed and evaluated at the end of April. All applicants will receive a response by e-mail in May.
The 8 students whose applications are selected for this competition will receive cheques for $300 at the annual Student Business Meeting, Thursday June 10, 2010 5:30-7:00 PM.

Do you want to volunteer at the 21st CBS conference?
There are 6 volunteer positions available from the CBS executive. The CBS executive will pay the registration fees for the chosen volunteers. The intent of the CBS volunteer program is to help make the conference more accessible to a larger group of students. Volunteers will be chosen based on their proven involvement with the CBS student group, and demonstrated financial need. If you are interested in volunteering for the conference, please send me an email at jahbell (at) interchange.ubc.ca
Francophone Ambassador:
This is a newly created position that we hope will increase francophone student involvement and representation in the CBS/SCB. The Ambassador will be engaged in the roles and responsibilities of a University Rep with the additional responsibility of consulting with Jennifer and Gina on francophone ideas and concerns. If you are already a University Rep in Québec we encourage you to consider this position as well. Francophone students who aren’t yet University Reps, but are interested in becoming more involved with the CBS/SCB, are also encouraged to contact us at jahbell (at) interchange.ubc.ca.
Nominations for Undergrad Student Rep
This year also marks the change-over in term for CBS’s Undergraduate Representative. This position is an excellent way to get involved in bioethics. The Undergraduate Representative position is great for networking, and provides a unique perspective on the state of bioethics in Canada. Elections will be held at the annual student business meeting at the 21st conference. If you are an undergraduate student and you are interested in being the second undergraduate student representative, please send me an email for more information on how to apply. If you are a graduate student and you are aware of an undergraduate who would make a good undergraduate rep, please let me know and please encourage him or her to apply for the position on the executive. For more information, contact Gina Freeman or Jennifer Bell.
Student Abstract/Travel Bursary Review Committees
Student Abstract Competition: If you are interested in being involved as a referee for the student abstract competition please contact me (jahbell (at) interchange.ubc.ca) by email as soon as possible. Volunteering for the abstract committee is an educational experience that gives you insight into how these competitions work.
Student Travel Bursary Program: This year we will be continuing the travel bursary program. This program is intended to provide financial aid to students who wish to attend the conference in Kelowna, British Columbia.
If you are interested in volunteering to referee the student travel bursary competition please contact me by email as soon as possible. |
