The Simon Schot Education Grant is open to both Accredited and Student Members of ATMS. Members interested in applying for the Grant need to fill out the application form and submit it to the ATMS.

The Grants are for Accredited and Student Members undertaking training in natural medicine or continuing their professional education. Members undertaking a major research project in natural medicine at an appropriate tertiary institution are suggested to apply for the ATMS Research Grant.

There are no restrictions on members should they wish to apply for the Simon Schot Grant each year, however only one application per member per year will be accepted.

All applications need to be received by the end of the first week in June.

Any Grant application for a course or activity which contravenes the ATMS Code of Conduct or Official Policies will be rejected.

The Simon Schot Education Grants are awarded annually at the ATMS Gala Dinner. Recipients are announced during the Gala Dinner and their names are published in the ATMS Journal and the Wise ‘n Well e‑newsletter.

Grant recipients are generally required to pay for their nominated course or activity upfront and then submit a copy of the receipt to ATMS for reimbursement.

Recipients have six (6) months from the time of the AGM/Gala Dinner to redeem their Education Grant. Any grants not claimed within this period will be redirected to support ATMS-delivered continuing education activities for the benefit of all members.

Recipients will be contacted in April for a brief interview with the ATMS CEO. This interview will record how the Simon Schot Award was used and highlight the recipient’s ongoing education and professional development in natural medicine.
