Scholarship information and application

ISPE makes scholarships available to assist student/researcher attendance at its ACPE meetings.

A limited number of scholarships are available to cover registration fees, and in some cases a modest contribution towards travel expenses. 

If you submit a scholarship application, you will be notified of the outcome of your application by Friday 24 July 2026.

ISPE’s ACPE International Steering Committee administers these scholarship programs under the direction of ISPE’s Scholarship Committee.

Decisions will be based on factors including but not limited to: having an accepted abstract, your country of residence, student status, financial situation, whether or not you have received scholarship support to attend an ISPE meeting in the past three years, and your stated reasons for wishing to attend the meeting.

Registration-only scholarships may be offered to participants who are attending in-person and will cover attendance at ACPE18 between 30 October and 1 November 2026. If you are successful in receiving a registration-only scholarship, you will not have to pay the registration fee for either the education sessions or the conference itself. Scholarships will not cover attendance at a conference dinner.

Scholarships may also be awarded which contribute towards expenses associated with travel to the conference as well as accommodation costs. In this case ISPE’s 18th ACPE will provide generally a modest contribution to successful applicants in Australian dollars (AUD). Successful applicants must provide a copy of their expense receipts during the ISPE 18th ACPE 2026 – Melbourne: Reimbursement will be provided on-site.

Applicants are advised that typically the total amount of scholarship assistance requested to attend ISPE meetings significantly exceeds resources the Society has been able to allocate for this purpose. Applicants are strongly encouraged to try to simultaneously find additional funding to attend this meeting from other sources.

Researchers from developing countries, those in genuine financial need, and students who otherwise would be unable to attend ISPE’s 18th ACPE are invited to submit an application.

The deadline for scholarship application submission is Friday 12 June 2026.

You will receive an immediate email acknowledging receipt of your scholarship application. If you do not receive this email (please check your spam folder first), please contact the ACPE 2026 program secretariat by email: acpe@expertevents.com.au.
