Student Scholarship
Applications for student financial support closed on October 28, 2022, and no more will be considered after the deadline.
The Riyadh 2023 conference organizers are offering a limited number of scholarships to students who will be presenting a paper at the conference to cover the accommodation costs associated with attending the conference.
Applications can only be submitted after your abstract has been accepted. The scholarships are awarded only to students that have had their papers accepted for presentation (in either a poster or concurrent session). This is done on a rolling basis (first-come, first served) until funds run out. No applications will be accepted after October 28, 2022. Only three scholarships are allocated to any academic institution.
In exchange for receiving a scholarship, students may be asked to assist the conference organizers with certain tasks, such as assembling registration packets, helping with registration, or providing technical support to session chairs.
To be eligible for consideration, you must:
