a) early career scholars (in cases of jointly authored papers, to qualify for a scholarship the applicant must be the lead author and must explain their contribution to the paper), and 

b) scholars residing in low- and mid-income countries (for jointly authored papers, all authors must reside in a low- or middle-income country and only one of the authors can apply for a scholarship.) 

Scholarships are not awarded for poster presentations. As we are unable to assess need directly we request that you apply for a scholarship only if you would not otherwise be able to attend the Conference.

In addition, the HDCA, in association with the Human Development Report Office (HDRO), will also award up up to three prestigious Ul Haq Early Career Scholarships to attend the Conference in person. Each award will provide up to $2500 to cover travel, visas, accommodation, and registration fees. Please note that applicants must have received a score of 3/5 or higher on their conference proposal. Full eligibility criteria for applicants and the obligations of award recipients can be viewed here: https://hd-ca.org/conferences/2024-hdca-conference-kolkata-india#anchor7. Awards will be determined by a joint selection committee of the HDCA and HDRO.
