Scholarships for meeting attendance

To help remove financial barriers to participation in the Society of Family Planning, we are providing a limited number of scholarships to attend the Annual Meeting. In reviewing requests, the Society will prioritize funding applicants who: identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color; have not previously attended the Annual Meeting; are students; and do not have institutional support. Applicants must provide a brief personal statement about their interest in attending the Annual Meeting, and applicant selection will be guided by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion vision.

Scholarships fund complimentary conference registration, up to three nights in the conference hotel, travel up to $600, a per diem of $100 per day, a reimbursement of up to $100 per day for childcare, and a year-long Society membership for new members. Members and non-members are welcome to apply. Deadlines will be released when registration opens.

What is the Society doing in response to funding cuts and travel freezes that may limit conference travel?

• To mitigate financial barriers to attendance, the Society heavily subsidizes the Annual Meeting and provides robust financial supports for faculty and scholarships for attendees.

At the same time, the Society will also continue to advocate for federal and philanthropic support of science and scientists in an effort to find a more sustainable solution in the future.

• The safety of meeting participants is of the utmost importance to us. To help ensure your safety all conference attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and volunteers will receive a thorough security vetting check and security procedures will be in place on-site.
• Security at the Annual Meeting may feel a little different than other conferences. All attendees are asked to keep the meeting location confidential, wear their badge throughout the meeting spaces and remove it as they exit, and follow session-specific social media guidelines.
