**The Researchers in Fundraising group is once again running its bursary scheme 
for a number of professionals working in the sector to attend the RiF (Researchers
in Fundraising) Conference 2026.**

The bursary covers the ticket and reasonable travel costs, subject to agreement 
between RiF and the grantee.

These are designed to help fundraisers who couldn’t attend the event and who are
an underrepresented member of the Prospect Research community, and/or who work for
a small charitable organisation.

## Bursaries for applicants in Scotland

The group is also able to provide a small number of bursaries that have been funded
by the **RiF Scotland group**. These opportunities are open to applicants in Scotland:
either you work for an employer headquartered there, or you are based in Scotland
for your role.

For these bursaries RiF Scotland have agreed to cover the costs of the ticket, travel
expenses and accommodation up to a certain overall cost.
