The BioKMT Scholars Fund

Introduction:

 

In 2012, the BioKMT Society launched the BioKMT Scholars Fund (BSF), inspired by the astonishing struggle and noble sacrifice made by our generation, we found ourselves obligied to walk for an extra mile for the nation's sake. The BSF has came to light by March 2012 to be the first (according to our knowledge) application-based fund run and developed by and for Egyptian Research Scholars.

 

How the BSF works?

 

The BSF is based on the simple idea that the BioKMT members (outside Egypt) donate a small amount of money (what is equivalent to £10 -£20 ) this sum of money is collected by the BioKMT Scholars Fund in Egypt. An application for Egyptian MSc and PhD Students is opened for 15-20 days to apply. The Applications are then reviewed by the BSF reviewing board team .Reviewing the applictions takes about 7 days .The successful applicant is informed shortly after by the amount of money allocated to him/her. Thereafter, the succesful applicant will then be able to buy and track down the laboratory consumables he/she wants in the research.   

 

The Story behind the 2nd BSF call:

 

The BioKMT Society is proudly announcing the opening of the 2nd BioKMT Scholars fund call under the title" Omar the sweetpotato boy"; a young innocent soul who we lost . Omar mentioned in an interview that people like him has no luxury to dare to dream, by such painful words, Omar left our world, leaving behind wounded hearts and wondering minds what we can do to honour him.
