The deadline for first round of scholarship applications was 15th August 2010 – announcement of successful applicants will be made in early September

The conference organisers are eager to provide as many scholarships as possible to enable people to participate in the conference who might not otherwise be able to do so.  The level of support will depend closely on the amount of sponsorship available.

The deadline for the first round of scholarship applications was 15th August 2010.  This was designed to enable successful applicants to know well in advance of the conference whether they have received an award, and will also enable flights to be booked early so as to take advantage of the best possible rates.

Eligible candidates had to fulfill at least one of the following criteria:

1. Have had a paper accepted, or be a speaker in an accepted session (including posters, workshops and demos) at the conference.
2. Be from a country ranked below 100^th on the latest Human Development Index (as at 1^st June 2010)
3. Be studying for a postgraduate degree
4. Be on a low income (if applying on these grounds, the most recent payslip must be attached as proof of income)

Applications that did not fulfill at least one of these requirements were not  considered.

All application for scholarships will be treated in strict confidence.  Decisions of the scholarships panel are final, and no further correspondence will be entered into once these decisions have been made.
