ISPN Meeting Attendance Scholarships

ISPN MEETING ATTENDANCE SCHOLARSHIPS – 2023

Each year, ISPN wishes to encourage younger people from low and lower-middle income countries (per World Bank classification) to attend and present at the ISPN Annual Meeting.

As of 2023, we are changing the requirements & entitlements of the scholarship, in such a way that we can more evenly distribute the funds and provide more people with an opportunity to receive a contribution towards attending the meeting!

For this purpose, ISPN Meeting Attendance Scholarships of up to USD 2,000 are available on an annual basis.

The amount of the scholarship will be flexible and based on travel distance/time.
