POSTGRADUATE BURSARIES
********************
We are pleased to announce that we are able to offer a limited number of
bursaries to postgraduate students attending the conference. Bursaries
will cover the cost of registration to the workshop day; the full main
conference; and up to five nights' on-campus accommodation. Holders of
bursaries must, however, cover all their own travel costs. To qualify, you
must be a current full-time research student at any university worldwide.

Applications will be considered complete if two email messages have been
received at cl2013 at lancaster.ac.uk, before 15th April 2013:
1) One message from the applicant stating name, department, university,
degree, and field of research. In this email, please be sure to include
proof of your student status (e.g. a letter from your department, or a
scan of your student identification card or document);
2) A letter of support from your academic supervisor, stating how they
believe you would benefit from winning a bursary and attending the
conference.

All postgraduates attending the conference are welcome to apply, but
priority will be given to applicants presenting papers or posters at the
main conference.
