Each year FEPTO provides scholarships for the Annual Meeting (AM) and the FEPTO Conference (FC). The procedure is simple and here we present it.

Who can apply?

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING, ONE SCHOLARSHIP PER INSTITUTE is available

All institutes (members of FEPTO) from countries such as Bulgaria, Croatia*, Estonia*, North Macedonia, Greece*, Hungary, Latvia*, Lithuania*, Poland, Portugal*, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Turkey may apply (i.e. scholarships are only granted to institutes, not to individuals, nor founding members.)

Since only one scholarship is granted per institute, if a second representative from the same institute is also interested, both applicants will need to discuss the matter and reach an agreement together.

FOR THE FEPTO CONFERENCE, ONE SCHOLARSHIP PER PERSON is available

This concerns participants coming from countries such as Bulgaria, Croatia*, Estonia*, North Macedonia, Greece*, Hungary, Latvia*, Lithuania*, Poland, Portugal*, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Turkey, regardless of which FEPTO institute they are coming from, or how many people are coming from the same institute.

How much is scholarship?

FEPTO policy is to offer scholarships, based on the early bird fees, not exceeding 10% of the total amount of participants (fees) registered. This is based on the FEPTO Treasurer report or the Local Organizing Committee (LOC). 10% of the registration fee for both events (FEPTO Conference and Annual Meeting) will be delegated to scholarships.

If the applicant does not register within the early bird deadline, FEPTO still provides the scholarship based on the early bird fee; but what remains from the regular fee must be paid by the participant.

A full scholarship represents 2/3 of the early bird registration fee. This amount is covered by FEPTO. The applicant needs to pay the remaining third.

Institute representatives (for the AM) and participants (for FC) from countries identified with an*get half a scholarship, meaning that 1/3 of the early bird registration fee is paid by FEPTO and 2/3 by the applicant.

How to apply for a scholarship?

The responsibility for granting the scholarships lies with the Chair of the Development and Network Committee and the FEPTO Council. It is a simple procedure, based on the following rule: first–come, first–served.

1. The applicant – whether (s)he is representing an institute (for AM) or coming as an individual (for FC) has to check the corresponding box on the online registration form.

2. The applicant has to pay the total amount of the registration fee, as the final capacity for scholarship granting is not known before the end of the registration process and depends on the final number of

3. The amount which corresponds to scholarships is refunded to the beneficiaries during the Conference or Annual Meeting.

We hope this clarifies the scholarship granting process to every one of you. If you have any questions or need further clarification do not hesitate to contact the Local Organizing Committee.

Looking forward to meeting you in one of the FEPTO activities!
