The Council of Science Editors (CSE) is a dynamic community of editorial professionals dedicated to the responsible and effective communication of science. Its mission is to serve editorial professionals in the sciences by creating a supportive network for career development, providing educational opportunities, and developing resources for identifying and implementing high-quality editorial practices.
Due to a generous donation from colleagues at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in honor of CSE Past-President, Monica Bradford’s retirement, the 2023 CSE Scholarship Program can support one (1) scientific publishing, editing, and writing professional with the following benefits:
- $1,500 gifted to the recipient onsite at the CSE Annual Meeting for use toward travel and lodging costs related to the annual meeting
- CSE Annual Meeting registration
- Complimentary CSE Worldwide Membership for one year
- A mentor paired through the CSE Mentorship Program
Early career professionals who have been in the industry for 0 - 5 years are encouraged to apply. Membership in CSE is not required for applying. The scholarship winner will be provided with a one-year CSE membership and asked to join and to participate in a CSE Committee and/or contribute an article to Science Editor.
The 2023 application process is now closed.
