Deadline: February 5, 2018
Applications are now open for the AIDS 2018 International Scholarship Programme. To increase conference accessibility to people from resource-limited settings and vulnerable populations, #AIDS2018 offers scholarships to attend the 22nd International AIDS Conference taking place in Amsterdam, Netherlands from 23-27 July 2018.
This programme provides financial assistance to help people who would otherwise be unable to benefit from the conference. Through the Scholarship Programme, the conference organizers commit to make the AIDS 2018 conference accessible to people from resource-limited settings, researchers, young people, key and vulnerable populations and community representatives.
Join over 15,000 global leaders, policy makers, researchers and advocates in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for the largest conference on any global health issue in the world.

Scholarship applicants are able to request a full or partial scholarship.
