SSICSIM offers financial aid options to help cover the costs associated with the conference. You can apply for this aid during the registration process, even if your school is covering part of your expenses. Our goal is to make our experiences as accessible as possible at all times. We never want attendees to have finance or payment as a barrier to entry to our conference.

When you begin the registration process, you will find an option to apply for financial aid on the registration form. Please provide a brief explanation of your financial situation and the reasons why you are seeking assistance. This information will help us understand your circumstances and provide the necessary support.

Financial aid provided by SSICSIM is only applicable towards the delegate registration fee. SSICSIM does not subsidize external costs such as transportation or accommodations. Please note that full or partial financial aid is not guaranteed and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Consequently, delegation registration emails might take longer to send out for those who requested aid due to the processing time.

If you have questions about financial aid, please contact our Equity Team comprised of our Deputy-Secretary-General of Equity, Devarya Singhania, at dsg@ssicsim.ca and our Assistant-Secretary-General of Equity, Isabella Pliska, at equity@ssicsim.ca.
