Scholarship Application
The Asia-Pacific region is offering two scholarships (value $US1600 each) to members in the region to attend the 2016 IABC World Conference. In addition, there is one complimentary conference registration (value US$1540) available.
The purpose of the scholarships is to encourage Asia-Pacific members to participate more fully in the World Conference, and to enhance professional development and chapter leadership in the region. Priority will be given to applicants who may not have attended the World Conference and/or those who can demonstrate a capacity to build ongoing strong regional and international connections by attending World Conference.
Evaluation of applications will take into consideration both financial need and merit. To this end, please provide an appropriate level of context and detail in your responses.
Scholarship Funds will be reimbursed to recipients’ bank accounts by wire transfer after the World Conference.
The complimentary Registration will be arranged in advance of the conference.
Application deadline: 22 April 2016. We will advise the results within the following week.
