Support Fund

Who is eligible for EGEA Support Fund?

The EGEA Support Fund is aimed at individuals. Apart from the Board members, the Secretariat Director and Regional Contact Persons, every individual can apply for it. The EGEA Support Fund doesn’t prioritise certain countries or regions.

It should fund primarily people who are (in no particular order of importance) …

• The only representative of their entity for their Regional Meeting or the General Assembly,
• The only representative of their committee at the General Assembly or Organisation and Strategy Meeting,
• Scientific symposium presenter, workshop leader in a congress etc,
• Current or prospective CPs for a CP-event (e.g. CP day),

… and cannot afford in their current financial situation to attend administrative or scientific EGEA events.

It is at the Jury’s (the RCPs) discretion to decide whether an event should be deemed scientific enough. If there is a good communication with their respective RCPs, also members of nominated candidating entities (the ones that have sent the motivational letter and it was approved afterward) may apply for the EGEA support fund.
