Further Educational Grant

Available through application | Available to Graduates

Available exclusively to ESO College Graduates

Each year, ESO College offers a limited number of Further Educational Grants to support ESO College Graduates in pursuing external educational opportunities.

What the Grant Covers

Grants can be requested to support attendance at training activities, conferences, or courses outside of ESO, provided they align with your professional development in oncology and take place in Europe. Please note that the grant is intended as a contribution towards the costs of the activity and is not expected to cover all expenses.

  • Payment:
    • 50% issued before the start of the activity
    • 50% after completion, upon submission of proof of attendance 

Application and Selection

  • Apply via the application link and upload the following documents
    • CV
    • Motivation letter giving details of how much funding is required and what it will be used for.
  • Requests are reviewed by the ESO College committee
  • All applicants are notified of the outcome before the end of the year.
