Announcement of Scholarships
Asia Pacific NGO Forum on Beijing + 10

Mahidol University-Salaya Campus, Bangkok, Thailand
30 June - 3 July 2004
 
A modest scholarship fund was established in order to give women who are in the margins of the women's movement the opportunity to participate in the celebration and deliberations, ten years since Beijing. They too must experience networking and advocacy at the international levels. Heartening stories of empowerment of women who benefited from the 'Send a Sister to Beijing" campaign show how women can flourish given the right opportunity.

We offer partial or full scholarship depending on your need. Please indicate what type of support you are expecting from this scholarship facility. If you have the means to raise funds to support part of your participation costs, please do so. We would like to have as many marginalized women benefit as possible, and you can help by tapping your own fund sources.

The types of scholarships are:
  • Waiver of registration fee of US$100 (which covers the conference kit and lunch and two snacks, commute between Mahidol University and hotel during the conference days).
  • Waiver of registration fee of US$100 plus subsidy of US$300 to cover accommodation, dinner, miscellaneous personal expenses, travel tax, visa fee and airport transfers.
  • Travel subsidy (cost of air fare, most economical and direct route)
  • Full scholarship to cover all of the above.
