AIDS 2014 is expected to convene over 14,000 delegates from nearly 200
countries, including 1,200 journalists. The conference will be held from
20-25 July 2014 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The
International AIDS Society, the world's leading independent association of
HIV professionals, with more than 16,000 members in 194 countries, is
organizing AIDS 2014 in collaboration with international and local partners.

*Scholarships*
 ------------------------------


The conference organizers are committed to making AIDS 2014 accessible to
people from resource-limited settings and communities, researchers, young
people, community activists and civil society representatives.

Scholarships provide financial assistance to a number of people to help
them attend the conference.

**

*International Scholarship Programme*


The International Scholarship Programme is open to everyone around the
world working or volunteering in the field of HIV and AIDS.

Priority will be given to those whose participation will help enhance their
work in their own communities, to those who are able to assist in the
transfer of skills and knowledge acquired at the conference, and to those
whose abstract, workshop or programme activity submission has been
selected. Scholarship selection will be based on a non-biased scoring
system established in advanced. A Scholarship Review Committee will
contribute to the reviewing and scoring of the applications.

Although every attempt will be made to assist as many people as possible,
we regret that there are only a limited number of international
scholarships available. On average, less than 10% of applicants are awarded
a scholarship. Applicants are therefore strongly encouraged to seek other
funding as well.

 *Media Scholarship Programme*


A very limited number of scholarships will also be available for media
representatives from around the world. Media scholarship applicants will be
asked to provide media accreditation and supporting documents.

 *Types of Support*


Scholarship applicants will be able to request a full or partial
scholarship.
A full scholarship includes:

   - Registration fee for the conference (include access to all sessions
   and exhibitions);
   - Travel (pre-paid airfare at the lowest fare available, from the
   nearest international airport);
   - Accommodation (shared in a budget hotel or dorm for the days of the
   conference);
   - Modest daily living allowance for the duration of the conference
   (20-25 July 2014).

A partial scholarship includes any combination of the above.

Applications will be open online through the conference profile, from 5
December 2013 to 6 February 2014. More information will be provided here in
the upcoming months.
