FINANCIAL AID
Funding is available to cover travel to IIASA and a modest living allowance.
Many of IIASA’s National Member Organizations (NMO’s) provide special grants to enable young scientists from their countries, or foreign students studying in their country, to participate in the program. Inquiries concerning financial aid should be directed to the NMO secretary in the applicant’s country. A list of NMO’s and contact details of the NMO Secretaries can be found here. Applicants not eligible for an NMO scholarship will have to find alternative funds to finance their participation. IIASA has limited funds for exceptional applicants from non-NMO countries.
IIASA does not charge a tuition fee. Participants are expected to cover all expenses associated with their stay at IIASA from their grant. These expenses include: three months rent; meals; local transportation; expenses for any accompanying dependents; and health insurance. The amount of €1,310 per month is recommended to cover local costs. Travel expenses from and to the home institution are covered by the NMO in addition to the local costs.
