Scholarships Available for Geneva Conference: Application Deadline March 8
On January 8 the National AIDS Fund announced scholarships of up to $3,500 for persons involved in community-based service organizations to attend the 12th World AIDS Conference, June 28 - July 3, in Geneva, Switzerland."Applicants must be actively involved in community-based HIV/AIDS organizations. Preference will be to those applicants who do not have the resources--or who would not normally have the opportunity--to participate in educational opportunities of this scope. Applicants will be selected by a panel of representatives from the nation's major HIV/AIDS organizations and institutions."
Major funding this year for the Community Advocates Scholarship Program is from Merck & Co., Glaxo Wellcome, Roche Laboratories, Pfizer, Agouron Pharmaceuticals, and Gilead Sciences.
Applications are due at the National AIDS Fund on March 8; they must include a letter of support, and cannot be submitted by fax.
