Austria: International Scholarship Programme - International AIDS Society (IAS)

Overview

The conference organizers are committed to making AIDS 2010 accessible to people from resource-limited settings and communities, researchers, young people, community activists and civil society representatives.

For AIDS 2008 in Mexico over 800 scholarships were granted. For AIDS 2010 the same share of the total budget has been allocated for international and media scholarships. The organizers therefore have the ambition to be able to offer the same level of scholarships as that for AIDS 2008.

Scholarships will be offered to people from a variety of backgrounds, including those who are submitting abstracts, workshop proposals and programme activity proposals (Global Village or Youth Programme). A number of applicants who are not submitting directly to the conference programme, as well as media representatives will also be granted scholarships.


International Scholarship Programme

Scholarships provide financial assistance to a number of people from resource-limited settings and communities, key affected populations, people living with HIV, young people, researchers and students to help them attend the conference. The International Scholarship Programme is open to everyone around the world. 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 (Global Village or Youth Programme) submission has been selected.

Scholarship selection is made based on a non-biased scoring system established in advanced. Although every attempt will be made to assist as many people as possible, we regret that there are only a limited number of international scholarships available. On average, less than 10% of applicants are awarded. Applicants are therefore strongly encouraged to seek other funding as well.

Media Scholarship Programme

A very limited number of scholarships will be available for media representatives from around the world. Media scholarship applicants will be asked to provide media accreditation and supporting documents. No applications will be accepted without submission of the required supporting documents. It is the applicants’ responsibility to ensure they have submitted the correct documents. Click here to read the terms and conditions of the Media Scholarship Programme.
