International Scholarship Programme
The conference organizing partners are committed to making AIDS 2010 accessible to people from resource-limited settings, young scientists globally, community activists and civil society representatives. 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 activity submission has been selected. The Scholarship Programme is non-biased within the established criteria, and selection is made based on the scoring achieved.

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.

Types of Support
Scholarship applicants will be able to request a full or partial scholarship.

A full scholarship includes:
  • registration to the conference;
  • economy-class travel;
  • shared accommodation in a budget hotel;
  • modest daily allowance.
A partial scholarship includes any combination of the above.

Important Dates:
Scholarships open: 8 December 2009
Scholarships close: 10 February 2010
All scholarship applicants will be notified: Beginning of April 2010
