Scholarship Program

Our scholarship program has been designed to ensure that families have every opportunity to attend the 2012 conference and Natural History Study.

For families who book their accommodation and complete their conference registrations before the 31st March 2012 – ISMRD will cover the cost of 2 nights accommodation @ $218 + taxes. This offer is available to the first 60 rooms being booked by families.

We currently can only consider one room per family but if there is indication that a family might need a second room we will very carefully consider if we can stretch the available funds. Please contact Jenny Noble for assistance.

Our aim is to give as much assistance as funds allows. This scholarship is intended to assist families who may incur high travel costs. Please contact Jenny Noble jenny.noble@xtra.co.nz for assistance.

Mercy Flights are again going to help us get patients to Charleston for the Natural History Study. Please e-mail Pam Tobey dtobey@centurytel.net with your request for assistance no later than 30th December 2011.

With the provision of 2 nights accommodation and the opportunity of Mercy flights, ISMRD hopes and expects that this will make it easy to attend the conference without putting you under financial pressure. However we are aware that there may be some families who may need additional help. ISMRD is willing to consider applications in this instance. If you do need additional help please contact Jenny Noble at the e-mail address above no later than 23rd March 2012.
