Individual Grants

We are able to provide grants to support travel to conferences and funding for other items required to progress the knowledge of PWS in your country and support your association and experts to develop their skills and reach. We can also provide financial support and speakers if you are working to organise a conference or workshop.

Grants and funding are aimed at individuals who would not be able to attend an event otherwise and it is always a condition of the grant that the knowledge gained will be used to benefit the wider PWS community in your own country on your return from the event. In the past we have also been able to fund small projects and translations. Sign up to our newsletter so you will be notified of future funding schemes.
