Eligibility – member status
Please note a member of ASCEPT is defined as a person whose application for ASCEPT membership has been approved at an ASCEPT AGM and has paid all membership fees up to and including the current year. To be eligible for an ASCEPT Award, you must already be a member according to this definition. Applicants who have applied for membership, but whose membership has not yet been approved at an AGM, are not eligible for ASCEPT awards. If you are unsure of your ASCEPT membership status please contact CLEMS.
The only exception to this rule is for new student members. New student members must have submitted an application for membership and paid the membership fee to CLEMS by August of that year for consideration for prizes and/or travel grants to attend the ASM at the end of that calendar year
