If you are of Reduced Means* you can apply for a grant of £115 to bring your conference participation and accommodation costs down to £250 (or £275 including the pre-conference), or if you are student down to £200 (or £225 including the pre-conference).

There are only a limited number of grants, so please wait for confirmation before assuming the cost you will incur in coming to the conference.

Our _Liberty, Legacy, Leadership_ conference from 15 to 19 June 2020 already offers automatic Minority World** Scholarships to those of Reduced Means*: [NB if you are from the Majority World there is a separate grant and scholarship available.] The automatic rates without this grant would be £365 for those of Reduced Means or £315 for students.

*Defining Reduced Means:
We have looked again at UN indicators and ask that those from the — if your annual income, (including benefits and before tax) does not exceed, circa £19,500, €23,000 or $25,000 USD, that you are entitled to the scholarship rate.

**Defining Minority World
Minority World—also means Developed Economies listed in the 2019 UN World Economic Situation Prospects ( https://www.un.org/development/desa/dpad/wp-content/uploads/sites/45/WESP2019_BOOK-ANNEX-en.pdf )

These grants are made available thanks to the assistance of the Conference for European University Chaplains (CEUC) and the International Association of Chaplains in Higher Education (IACHE).

We will not send you any money, instead we will give you access to book at the reduced rate of £250 (or £275 if including the pre-conference). If you are awarded a grant, your conference place will have a guaranteed reservation until 23 April 2020 while we wait for you to book on by paying for the conference for £250. This will cover all food, accommodation and meals, you will need to fund your own travel. Please note there are tours on Wednesday; these are optional and some tours are free of charge, so if you want to book a tour that is charged for, you would need to pay for that as an optional extra.

If you need a visa to attend, we can send you letters (via email) to help with the visa process, if you need a visa. Typically you'd need a Standard Visitor Visa that you can apply for 3 months in advance of travel: https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa (This link gives you all the information you need including the right-hand side of the page that explains all the steps of the process: you will receive a decision within 3 weeks of your application and the UK Border Agency charges £95.)

We recommend you only book on once you have the travel arrangements, visa, other plans, acceptance of a paper or workshop and any invitation letters you need. You will not lose your grant or your place if this takes sometime, though because the number of grants is limited we may need to release your grant to another person in need, after 23 April 2020 if you have not been able to pay to book on by that point.

Please complete the form below and also, if you want to propose a paper or workshop or other input, please, go via the www.sheffield.ac.uk/iache2020 site to complete the 'call for papers' process separately.

Please remember to hit the 'SUBMIT' button at the end of the form to finish.
