ICASA International Scholarship Program

To promote the participation of all actors in the fight against AIDS and STIs, particularly persons living in resource-limited countries and young scientists, the organizers of the 15th ICASA have created a scholarship program.

More than 500 citizens of developing countries, NGO workers, members of marginalized communities, PLHIV, young scientists and other youth will receive financial aid to participate in the 15th ICASA.

Anyone can apply to the International Scholarship Program. Priority will be given to those whose participation will enhance their work in their own communities, to those who are able to transfer skills and knowledge acquired at the conference and to those whose abstracts have been selected for the Conference Program.

Although every attempt will be made to assist as many Africans as possible to attend, the number of international scholarships available is limited. Participants are therefore strongly encouraged to seek other funding.

There are two types of international scholarships: full and partial.

• Full scholarships include the Conference registration fee, economy-class airfare, shared accommodation in university residences and a daily allowance.

• Partial scholarships include any combination of the above.

The decision to award a full or partial scholarship will be made by the Scholarship Program Committee.

If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please
register
for the conference online, and check “Apply for a scholarship” when presented with the option. The deadline for applying for a scholarship is
May 15, 2008

The results of the allocation of scholarships will be sent out in September 2008.
