Subsidies

The deadline for receipt of applications for a subsidy is 28th May 2013.

A number of subsidies are available to student members and unwaged members (of either the Aristotelian Society (categories 3-5 only) or the Mind Association). The subsidy will cover 75% of any registration, meal and standard accommodation costs (as detailed on the registration form): the remaining costs are paid by the applicant.

To apply for a student/unwaged subsidy, please visit the Aristotelian Society’s website: www.aristoteliansociety.org.uk/the-joint-session

If the applicant is a member of the Mind Association, proof of membership must be provided.

If there are more than ten applicants, a draw will be held, although preference will be given to those who have not previously received a subsidy.

The Executive Administrator’s decision is final.

Student/unwaged subsidies are jointly funded by the Aristotelian Society and the Mind Association.
