The AIDS 2024 Scholarship Programme will not reimburse any costs you have incurred prior to receiving a scholarship. Therefore, you are advised to avoid pre-booking accommodation or flights or registering for the conference if you have requested this type of financial support in your application. If you are selected for the scholarship and the full financial support you requested is granted, the program will not be able to reimburse you for these costs.
All applicants who completed an application but were not granted a scholarship will be able to register for the conference at the early registration fee for two weeks after the results are announced.

Participation in the conference programme
General delegates or abstract presenters, workshop facilitators, co-facilitators, Global Village organizers, and co-organizers who need support to attend AIDS 2024 are encouraged to apply for a scholarship. If you are submitting an abstract on behalf of someone else, please make sure that they apply for a scholarship before 23 January 2024, 23:59 CET. The abstract presenter must use the same email address in the abstract submission and in the scholarship application so that the two can be linked.
The scholarship is connected to the abstract presenter. If the abstract presenter changes, the scholarship is cancelled unless a request is made to transfer the grant to the new presenter. The deadline to request this transfer is 1 June 2024. If the abstract is withdrawn, the scholarship is subsequently cancelled.
