About the Travel Grant

Up to three travel grants will be awarded, based on the merit of submitted cases. Each grant will cover:

  • Full course registration

  • Per diem meal allowance

This is an exciting opportunity to showcase a compelling pediatric CNS tumor case while gaining recognition and support to attend a high-level neuro-oncologic imaging education event.
