Apply for a Scholarship
The conference organizers are committed to doubling the number of scholarships for AIDS 2016 to make the conference even more accessible to people from resource-limited settings, researchers, young people, community activists and civil society representatives.
Scholarship Programme
The Scholarship Programme is open to everyone around the world working or volunteering in the field of HIV and AIDS. The programme provides financial assistance to help them attend the conference.
Priority will be given to those whose participation will help enhance their work in their own communities, to those who are able to assist in the transfer of skills and knowledge acquired at the conference, and to those whose abstract, workshop or programme activity submission has been selected. Scholarship selection will be based on a non-biased scoring system established in advanced. A Scholarship Review Committee will contribute to the reviewing and scoring of the applications.
Even though every attempt will be made to assist as many applicants as possible and although the number of scholarships will be doubled, we regret that there will be only a limited quantity of scholarships available. Applicants are therefore strongly encouraged to seek other funding as well.
Media Scholarship Programme
A very limited number of scholarships will also be available for media representatives from around the world. Media scholarship applicants will be asked to provide media accreditation and supporting documents.
Types of Support
Scholarship applicants will be able to request a full or partial scholarship.
A full scholarship may include:
Registration fee for the conference (include access to all sessions and exhibitions);
Travel (pre-paid airfare at the lowest fare available, from the nearest international airport);
Accommodation (shared in a budget hotel or dorm for the days of the conference);
Modest daily living allowance for the duration of the conference (18-22 July 2016).
A partial scholarship includes any combination of the above.
Applications will be open online through the conference profile, from 1 December 2015 to 12 February 2016. More information will be provided on this page in the upcoming months.
