Assessment criteria

Travel awards will be assessed by a group of the ISA committee and applications will be ranked primarily according to (i) financial need and, or, lack of other funding, with secondary consideration given to (ii) the student’s member institution, (iii) benefit to the recipient, and (iv) quality of the abstract, as evidenced by the required application documents. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered by the assessment committee. As funding is limited, we ask students not to apply if they already have other funding to support their travel.

All information provided will be treated as strictly confidential.

The Award Assessment Committee will be a subset of the ISA Organising Committee.
