Limited travel support is available to assist students and qualifying applicants in their efforts to attend the 45th ISTS Symposium in South Africa. Priority will be given to individuals that are presenting, demonstrate a financial need, and are from an under-represented region. Note that Travel Grants typically consist solely of bed grants (i.e., no cash) and should not be expected to cover other aspects of symposium travel.

The application window to apply for a travel grant will be closed on 5 November 2026. To apply for a travel grant, you must first register for the 45th ISTS Symposium via the registration page and then select ‘Apply for a ISTS Travel Grant’ on the registration site home page (link will be available after registering). Applications must be made before the 5 November 2026 deadline. No late applications will be considered.

Awarded grants are currently scheduled to be announced in December 2026. Grant recipients are expected to attend the entire symposium, attend the ISTS Symposium plenary session, and volunteer for the symposium, as requested.
