- Abstract submission is a separate procedure. General Panel organizers, Working Group conveners and New Scholars Organisers will assess abstracts and inform the applicants in due time whether they have been accepted.
- The Bursary Subcommittee is exclusively responsible for the allocation of financial support. It cannot provide acceptance letters for the conference.
- Should you be the winner of the New Scholars or Helsinki Prize, your bursary application will be deemed ineligible. In other words, you will not receive a double award.

Coronavirus & Cancellation Note:
Currently, we remain hopeful that in the coming months coronavirus will not adversely impact international travel and our in-person conference proposed for Ghana 2023. However, you are strongly advised to take out insurance that includes coronavirus cover for all bookings you make. A Bursary Award can only be made for in-person attendance at the conference. Cancellations for coronavirus-related or other reasons cannot be covered by IFTR. In short, kindly note the need for a comprehensive travel insurance policy.
The bursary committee will inform you of the decision by January 22nd, 2023. For any queries please email: iftrbursaries2023@gmail.com
