How can I apply for the Bursary Fund?
Please write a supporting letter describing why you wish to apply, which course you wish to attend and how this will help you.
This letter needs to be sent in an email to meetings@topra.org for the attention of our Director of Professional Development, Elizabeth Brookfield, at the earliest opportunity, along with the following detail and documents:
- Copy of a valid passport
- Proof of address – you must be currently living and working in a low to middle income country
- Supporting evidence that you are in employment in a regulatory affairs role
If you are unsure about the application process or the documents needed to support an application, please contact the Professional Development team at meetings@topra.org
Application considerations
Bursaries will only be given to individuals living and working in low to middle income countries. The fund is limited so we recommend ensuring you submit your application in good time, noting that you may only apply once in the same year.
Bursaries will not be awarded on a first-come-first-served basis, but instead consideration will be given to the following:
- The need for the course, how the learning will be used and whether it will be used within six months of the course
- The benefit the course and the learning will provide both to the company and to the individual
- Additional consideration will be given to candidates from small or micro enterprises as they may not have other opportunities to access training
Please note that all successful applicants are required to allow their name and organisation to be published, and to support this we would be appreciate a photo and brief story to be provided after attendance.
Timings
The closing date for 2025 Education Bursary applications is Friday 23 August 2024.
Successful applicants will be informed by Friday 22 September to allow time to plan for their attendance in 2024.
