In line with our strategic intentions and operational framework, The Elizabeth Casson Trust offers funding support and development opportunities to qualified occupational therapists to further the profession of occupational therapy. Opportunities are open primarily to occupational therapists in the United Kingdom, but we also accept international requests for some awards (see each award page for further information).
Applications for courses, designing your own learning events, innovation awards and pump-primer research awards are received year-round; others, such as applications for conferences, postgraduate studies and international scholarships have specific windows for applying so please plan your development activities in plenty of time.
We welcome all applications; however, we ask that you make a personal contribution, where possible, and only request the amount of funding needed to enable you to pursue the learning opportunity. This approach allows us to support as many occupational therapists as possible and to be equitable and fair based on need.
If you have any questions not answered in our FAQs, please contact us here.
