North American Refugee Health Conference
Scholarships
As a non-profit our vision is for more equitable healthcare. This year we’re pleased to offer scholarships to attend our North American Refugee Health Conference for people who were previously resettled as refugees in Canada or the US.
Scholarships are for the registration fee only. Travel, lodging, and food are not covered. It is not a cash award. If awarded, the Society will register the awardee for the conference and waive the fee.
Please note that there are a limited number of scholarships available. Scholarships will be awarded on a “first come, first served” basis as donations become available. If an applicant’s plans has changed and they can’t attend, then the award will be given to another applicant on the list.
Professionals Previously Resettled As Refugees
Were you previously resettled as a refugee in Canada or the US and are currently working, studying or training in the health field (in any capacity)? Thanks to donations from generous conference attendees, we’re able to offer free registration to NARHC.
How many scholarships are awarded is entirely dependent upon how much money is donated. Scholarships are awarded on a first come/first served basis. They are awarded in the order of those that apply. The Society does not wait to make the award. Once the appropriate amount for a scholarship is collected the next applicant is notified of the award. Since many conference attendees don’t register until a short time before the conference, awards could potentially be given right up until the start of the conference. If an applicant’s plans has changed and they can’t attend, then the award will be given to the next applicant on the list.
