Financial aid for US citizens

Financial support is available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who can demonstrate financial hardship that would affect their ability to attend the workshop. Because this support is funded by the NIH, we are unable to offer it to applicants who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Recipients receive a reduced registration rate ($200 instead of $850), plus reimbursement of up to $1,000 of their workshop attendance costs. The reimbursement is paid by check after the workshop, once receipts are submitted to IBGworkshop@colorado.edu.

We are able to provide 10 scholarships in 2027.

How to apply

Complete the financial aid application form at https://forms.gle/UVvaxLUUaoZzLjw96 by November 30, 2026. In the form, you will explain why financial aid is needed for you to attend the workshop, and upload a current CV and a letter from your advisor or supervisor attesting to your need. Awards are based solely on demonstrated financial need.

Please do not register for the workshop if you are applying for financial aid. A place will be held for every applicant, so you will be able to register whatever the outcome.
