Syndicate: ISEA - international bursaries

["lisa haskel" <lisa@lisa.demon.co.uk>]

dear syndicalists,
I recently received this information.  Note that international
bursaries are for Liverpool and Manchester parts of the symposium,
local/national bursaries for Manchester only.  I will endeavour to
find out how many bursaries are available and how/by whom decisions
will be made.
