Application Procedure 

Award Disbursement 

Awards will be given as reimbursements to recipients following the conclusion of the annual conference. Recipients should be prepared to submit receipts for travel costs incurred (e.g., airline tickets). Recipients will receive the amount equivalent to their travel costs, up to $500 USD ($1000 USD for those eligible) depending on their needs (if travel costs are less than the maximum limits the recipient will receive an amount equal to their travel expenses). Those who are in the ISPP Academy can apply for the Travel Award but are eligible to receive reimbursement for their travel and accommodation costs only for the dates of the main conference and not for the Academy dates. Unfortunately, we are not able to cover all expenses and strongly encourage applicants to search for additional sources of funding.

For any inquiries about the travel awards you may contact the Travel Award Committee.
