Scholarship information and application
Scholarship applications will be accepted up until Friday 18 July 2025.
A limited number of scholarships may become available to cover registration fees, and in some cases a modest contribution towards travel expenses. In past years, ISPE has made available scholarships to assist student/researcher attendance at its ACPE meetings.
If scholarships for ACPE17 become available, you will be notified of the outcome of your application by Friday 29 August 2025.
ISPE’s ACPE International Steering Committee has administered these scholarship programs under the direction of ISPE’s Scholarship Committee. Decisions have been based on factors including but not limited to: having an accepted abstract, your country of residence, student status, financial situation, and your stated reasons for wishing to attend the meeting.
Registration-only scholarships may be offered to participants who are attending in-person and will cover attendance at all presentations from 21 – 23 November 2025. If you are successful in receiving a registration-only scholarship, you will not have to pay the registration fee for either the education sessions or the conference itself. Scholarships will not cover attendance at a conference dinner if one is held.
Scholarships may also be awarded which contribute towards expenses associated with travel to the conference and accommodation costs. In this case ISPE’s 17th ACPE may provide a small contribution to successful applicants in Hong Kong dollars (HKD). Successful applicants must provide a copy of their expense receipts during the ISPE 17th ACPE 2025 – Hong Kong: Reimbursement will be provided on-site.
Applicants are advised that typically the total amount of financial (scholarship) assistance requested to attend ISPE meetings significantly exceeds resources the Society has allocated for this purpose. Applicants are strongly encouraged to try to simultaneously find additional funding to attend this meeting from other sources.
Researchers from developing countries, those in genuine financial need, and students who otherwise would be unable to attend ISPE’s 17th ACPE are invited to submit an application.
The deadline for scholarship application submission is Friday 18 July 2025.
You will receive an immediate email acknowledging receipt of your scholarship application. If you do not receive this email (please check your spam folder first), please contact the ACPE17 program secretariat by email: acpe@expertevents.com.au.
