BDIAP student elective scholarships for undergraduate election or vacation studies in histopathology or related areas

The BDIAP is offering a total of 10 scholarships a year to undergraduate students of medicine to enable them to work for elective or vacation periods in departments of histopathology/cellular pathology, molecular pathology or cytopathology in universities, NHS laboratories or research institutes in the UK or overseas. Proposals for work on research projects in histopathology or for acquisition of experience in diagnostic departments are eligible for consideration.

The scholarship will normally be for £300 per week up to a maximum of 8 weeks (and thus up to a maximum of £2400 pounds Sterling).

Applications will be considered at any time of the year but must be submitted before the start of the proposed elective. The applications are assessed by the Innovation Subcommittee and applicants will be informed of the result within 6 weeks of receipt of their application.
