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.
The 2025 CSE Scholarship Program is pleased to 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 waiver
-
Complimentary CSE Worldwide Membership for one year

Early career professionals who have been in the industry for 0 - 5 years are encouraged to apply. Membership in CSE is not a requirement for applying. The scholarship winner will be invited to join and to participate in a CSE Committee and/or contribute an article to Science Editor.
The application will also ask if you are interested to serve as a non-voting Early Career Representative on the Nominating Committee (2025-2026). This new position on the Nominating Committee will help ensure that CSE is including an early career perspective in conducting the annual nomination process, vetting candidates and presenting a recommended slate for elected office.
