The AMUNC 2013 Scholarship Program aims to ensure that motivated students who may find it a financial hardship to attend the conference, are given the opportunity to do so.
The amount of financial assistance that delegates can apply for varies depending on the scholarship. Some partially or wholly subsidise the conference fees for delegates while others help offset accommodation costs.
We encourage interested delegates to apply for the scholarship that best fits their description and needs. Students may apply for up to two scholarships but only one scholarship will be given per student.
Below are details about the scholarships currently available for application. Kindly funded by Victoria University of Wellington and the British High Commission, they are a mix of grants that are based on financial need and scholarships that are based on merit.
There will also be scholarships funded by AMUNC 2013 that will be made available to international students. Further details will be announced soon, with applications for these scholarships expecting to be open in early 2013.
The deadline for all applications is Sunday, 17 March 2013.
