Read this page before applying for travel and accommodation support

What is Travel and Accommodation Support?

• Attending events can be costly. We don’t want financial barriers to prevent people from joining EA Global.
• We have limited financial support available for attendees who could not otherwise attend. You can apply for travel support to cover your transport and accommodation for the conference.
• Please note that, unfortunately, we are not able to approve all requests. Applicants who require support are strongly encouraged to apply; however, we ask that you refrain from making plans based on the assumption that funding will be provided. If you need a quicker response to your support request, please let us know by emailing admissions@eaglobal.org.

Who is Travel and Accommodation Support for?

• Our travel support funds are intended for attendees who earn less than $50,000 per year, with exceptions for those who are otherwise financially constrained and would not be able to afford to attend (e.g. have dependents or very precarious employment).
• The funds are intended for those who don't have other options available. If you think your employer or university might be able to cover your trip, please enquire before submitting a travel support request.
• If you’re unsure whether you are eligible, you are encouraged to apply anyway.

How much should I apply for?

• Please apply for what you need to be able to attend.
• If your request is approved, applying for only the amount that you need allows us to stretch our funds further and help more people attend EA Global.
• For more information on what we cover, see the full travel support policy.

How does this affect my application?

• Applying for travel support has no bearing on the outcome of your application.
• Applications are reviewed for approval before any associated travel support requests are visible.

How do I apply?

1. Apply for the event you wish to attend, via the application form on the event page.
2. Read the travel support policy in full.
3. Seek out other potential sources of funding (e.g. your employer, college, or university).
4. Apply for travel and accommodation support before the event here.
5. Submit as early as possible — we review requests on a rolling basis and funds are limited.
