Eaquals International Conference 2 – 4 April 2020 Belfast, UK

Scholarship Award Scheme

The Eaquals scholarship scheme is to enable Eaquals-accredited institutions disadvantaged by challenging business environments, unfavourable exchange rates and local political issues, to benefit from funding to attend Eaquals conference.
There will be a total of 5 scholarships offered for attendance at the Eaquals annual international conference.

What is offered by the scholarship scheme?

  • Waiver of conference fee
  • €200 as contribution towards travel/accommodation costs
  • Free attendance at informal and formal dinners
  • Assistance with finding low-cost quality accommodation e.g. with local homestays where possible/appropriate

Eligibility

  • Applicants must submit an application form. The Eaquals Scholarship committee review applicants and recommendations for successful/unsuccessful applicants are submitted to the Eaquals board for moderation.

This may take the form of a presentation, workshop, seminar, participation in any ongoing Eaquals projects, providing a roving reporter role or similar etc.
