This is a high end grant/scholarship that can cover a vast amount of travel expenses in Iceland.
Students must present evidence to show that the travel expenses are greater than what they can fund themselves.
How to Apply
The only way to apply if online. The website link on this page will take an interested party to the website where the application can be accessed.
The only real accepted cause for this travel grant, is what’s called a ‘accepted abstract.’ This states that student has in fact a physical or digital proof that states the student has been invited to either attend or speak at a conference.
Students can still apply for the conference program is in fact later in the year and is not happening until well after the deadline date of this option. If that is the case, students are asked to give great description and detail as to why they are applying early.
Students will need to provide a accepted abstract that should have no more that 1500 characters. If this is exceeded, the student will need to trim down their character count so it does not exceed the 1500 limit.
Reward – Extra Benefits

All applicants must follow the guidelines and rules when it comes to keeping this scholarship opportunity. While the scholarship is only valid for one academic year duration, that doesn’t mean the student can take off school for a gap year. If a student who has won this award, decides to quit college they may be required to pay a portion of the scholarship back to the university.
Deadline Time Line
The deadline is March 3, 2023. And an additional catch is that students must attend the annual March annual course registration to be able to apply for this grant/scholarship opportunity.
There is no other deadline time line available which states that the above is the only deadline time students should go by.
Open Submission Window Time Frame

Annual or Renewable Scholarship Options
This is an annual opportunity and a renewable one that can be renewed up to 3 years. However, if a student has applied before and has not received the grant/scholarship opportunity they can apply each year until they do.

While we provide exact information for each scholarship application and when the deadlines/open submission windows are held. We offer a contact section on each post where the admissions of the university or the director of a private sponsor can be reached to give more information or details.
All students should check with the university website about any delays or changes to the open submission window or deadline time frame. This is the best way to see if anything needs to reviewed or changed before submitting their application.
