AGES FOUNDATION TRAVEL
AWARDS
In 2017, CIP-PSTF's Ages Foundation Travel Awards (AFTA) program was launched, thanks to the generosity of the Ages Foundation Fund.
Since then, each year's CIP-PSTF scholarship and bursary recipients have been eligible to receive AFTA funding to completely cover their expenses to attend CIP's annual conference. This includes students' conference registration fees, as well as costs related to travel, accommodations, and meals.
Through this program, recipients not only take part in the conference’s many learning opportunities, but they also connect with other students, professionals, and academics, and can share their experiences back home.
