Scholarships

CGT4HIVCure 2015 is offering a limited number of scholarships for conference registration ($450 per person maximum) and travel awards (up to $500 per person maximum reimbursement) to post-doctoral fellows and Graduate Students. Scholarships and travel awards are to be used to help defray the expenses associated exclusively with conference attendance including: registration, air (restrictions may apply based on funding source), ground transportation, and lodging costs.

Non-conference attendance-related expenses or alcohol are not covered by these funds. Original receipts will be required to receive travel award reimbursement.

If you are applying for a scholarship, please refrain from registering for this conference until the awards are announced. When you apply for a scholarship, you will be added to the registration list as ‘tentative’ until further notification of next steps.
