Financial and Economic Equity

Establish Dedicated Conference Funds: Create specific grants or bursaries for students to attend academic conferences, prioritizing those from underrepresented or low-income backgrounds.

Advance Funding Options: Offer up-front (not reimbursable) payments for registration, travel, and accommodation to reduce financial burden.

Tiered Support Models: Provide scalable funding based on need (e.g., full funding for students from low-income backgrounds, partial for others).

Transparent Application Processes: Ensure application criteria and deadlines for institutional support are clear and accessible.

Partner with Conference Organizers: Collaborate with conference hosts to negotiate discounted registration fees or bulk discounts.
