If you need assistance to attend the meeting, you may apply for a scholarship. Priority will be given to students and young investigators with a focus on those attending from lower and middle income countries. Resources are limited so scholarships will be determined based on quality of your submission and description of need as well as the factors above. In order to apply, you will need to write a short statement explaining why you need support from the Congress. You can SAVE your work and return to upload documents at a later time (prior to the abstract deadline).
