ABOUT THE IFEH HEDGEROW BURSARY AND CONDITIONS
The purpose of the bursary is to assist Member Association delegates to attend Council Meetings and of course World Congresses. Monies are not to be used for travel to or from Regional meetings. The Bursary is to support attendance at Council meetings and therefore no more than 75% funding up to a maximum of $2000 should be provided. Initially, the Board will commit to approving up to 4 applications per year, thus leaving some monies for contingencies such as a late attendance which is deemed to necessary and in the best interests of the Federation. Bursary support is for travel costs and where applicable registration costs or delegate fee. However, it does not include accommodation costs or incidentals.
Assistance will be given initially to those countries who fall into the area where our subscription band limits their payment to £40.00 because of their GDP – these are mainly African countries although other countries are included as well. If there are no applications in a particular year from those ‘emerging’ countries, then consideration might with discretion and the consideration of a case made, agree to an application from a “developed” country member. Consideration must also be given to countries where the member country is not classified as ‘emerging’ as their national economies are vibrant, however the Member association is not cash rich and cannot afford expensive travel costs. The Faculty Forum are Associate Members of the Federation, not full members and are not be eligible for funding through this medium.
Cost estimates shall be provided well in advance of the event where bursary support is sought. Upon approval from the Board, final payment will be made based on actual costs incurred. Accordingly, proper receipts must be submitted. In order to assist those granted a bursary, monetary advances may be considered by the Board. Any monies not accounted for should be returned by the nominee to the Board.
A Bursary Committee consisting of the Board of Directors which include the Regional Chairs will review all applications. The Regional Chair of an area where an application originates will declare in interest and while they can speak in support of the application, they will not have a say or vote in the approval process.
The Federation wishes to thank and recognize Hedgerow Software of Calgary, Alberta Canada for their generous support in the creation and establishment of this bursary.
