The maximum fellowship award is $50 USD for ISCB members and 70$ for non-members, but non-members will not be eligible for the free year of complimentary membership.
Eligibility Requirements
- You are a high school student or registered in an undergraduate degree program. Graduate Students, Postdocs, and Professionals DO NOT qualify.
- You will attend all three days of the conference, May 11-13, with verification occurring through your sign-in to the virtual platform.
- Applicant must be prepared to register for GLBIO 2021 no later than April 30, 2021. If attendance at the conference is dependent on receipt of registration fellowship funds, please do not register until after the notification of registration fellowship funding. Any funded applicant failing to register for the conference by the deadline of April 30, 2021 will automatically forfeit the funds so that another applicant can be awarded from among the original pool of applicants.
- You have other funding resources to cover costs not met by a registration fellowship award. Applicant must be able to pay all expenses of attending the conference which include the registration amount not covered by the fellowship.

Eligible Expenses
Eligible expenses include conference registration. A discount code will be provided to cover $50 for ISCB members and $70 for non-members. Registrant must cover any remaining fees.
Notification
Applicants will be notified no later than April 21, 2021 of their funding status. In some cases applicants may be notified they are on a wait list for funding. Any wait listed applicant that is eventually awarded funds will be offered the opportunity to register at the early registration rate, therefore, please do not register for the conference if your attendance is fully dependent on being awarded a travel fellowship as any cancellation of an applicant's registration will be subject to the full regular registration cancellation policy.
