Bursaries

The IYPS wishes to ensure the attendance of a diverse group of young professionals.  To assist in achieving this, the IYPF seeks to provide subsidies to those who may struggle to meet all the costs, yet have much to offer the IYPS and the world.

A pool of monies to use towards this purpose will be collected, which will then be allocated to young professionals who identify that they need financial assistance to attend.  

The amounts given to each delegate will vary depending on their circumstances - for some, it might take the form of subsidising 50% of their registration fee, an airfare, or simply taxi transfers from the local airport.

The IYPF will work with those delegates who identify that they require financial assistance to source that assistance from their own local communities.  We are aware that in some cases, it may not be possible to get any, or all, of the funds needed, and anticipate the delegate bursaries to provide a 'stop-gap' measure.

The bursary scheme will hopefully ensure that fantastic young professionals do not have to miss out on the Summit because they only raised $1750 of the $2000 they might have needed for their airfare.

Donating organisations and persons have the choice to mark their donation for a particular type of delegate - i.e. regional Australian, Zimbabwean, or engineer.  Donations that do not specify a particular person or group will be distributed at the IYPS' discretion to other worthy applicants.


Applying

When applying, delegates will be required to note whether they believe they will need financial assistance to attend.  If they are then selected, they will be required to complete a more comprehensive request for subsidy.  This form will be available at this website later in the year.

The IYPF will work closely with delegates to try and raise the funds needed, but can make no representation that all delegates who apply for a bursary will receive one.
