Seeking financial assistance: Some advice
As the Summer School is financed through participant's fees alone and
has no funds of its own, it cannot offer any scholarship, grants or financial aid.
Here's some advice on how to seek financial assistance to cover Summer School fees.
- As the National Science Foundation stopped offering grants for attending Summer Schools and similar events, universities were asked to set aside funds specifically for this
kind of training; enquire in your department, institute, faculty or university.
In addition:
- Find out howcontinuoues training is funded in your institutional setting.
- PhD Students; check with your supervisor/program director if funds are available within your doctoral programme
- Check within your institution:
most universities and other academic institutions
have special grants, prices etc;
these are sometimes limited to students
in specific disciplines/areas/themes etc.
Most universities have an office/contact person who can help you to find out what is available. Note that these grants often require an
early application.
- Check with your country's national science foundation or equivalent.
Many countries finance participation
in Summer Schools.
- In the past, Unesco has granted financial assistance for Summer Schools, especially for
students from Eastern European and Non-European countries.

- Unesco publishes every year a world-wide guide to grants, subsidies etc.
