Know someone who should be attending the Trust Women Conference but cannot afford it?
A limited number of conference scholarships are available for exceptional individuals at the forefront of women’s rights. Priority will be given to candidates from developing countries.
Scholarships include free entry to the conference and/or a stipend of up to £800 to reimburse funds spent on air or train travel, hotel accommodation and ground transportation.
Attending the Trust Women Conference as a scholarship winner is an exciting opportunity. It provides beneficiaries and their respective organisations with a global platform for action.
Scholarship applications are open from 2–16 September 2013. Successful applicants will be notified by early October. When applying, please consider your visa requirements for UK travel and plan accordingly.
We are most thankful to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for their support of conference scholarships.
