The North American Travel Scholarship offers an educational opportunity for neurosurgery residents, head & neck fellows, and junior faculty (defined as less than five years in practice) citizens of the USA, Canada, and/or Mexico. Membership in the NASBS is a requirement for this scholarship. The objective of this program is to provide access to skull base scientific education and training at the NASBS annual meeting. The US $ 1000 scholarship will be awarded annually in for travel funds, complimentary registration to attend the Annual Meeting, and an opportunity to spend one week as a Visiting Scholar and guest at a NASBS member’s institution immediately following the Annual Meeting.
Please note that every effort will be made to accommodate an observership program at the grantee’s Institution of choice. Assignments will be made based on availability.
Each grant of US $1,000 will not cover the full expense of attending the Annual Meeting and the observership. The grantee is expected to provide additional funds to cover these expenses.
The following individuals are NOT eligible to apply for these grants:
- Citizens of countries outside of North America
- Individuals in private practice or not in an academic position
Applications will be reviewed by the NASBS International Committee and notifications will be sent in October. If a grantee has to withdraw, e.g., due to lack of additional funding, he/she must notify the NASBS immediately by contacting Alondra Renteria at [email protected].
The deadline to submit the North American Travel Scholarship Application is Friday, September 20, 2024.
