Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to inform that the 12 APCCB will offer a total of 13 scholarships. Of these 5 will be offered by the APFCB and the remainder by the Organising Committee. These scholarships are besides those that were recently offered by the IFCC

Applicants for the APFCB Scholarships will be required to have the following qualifications

a. Have at least one scientific abstract that is accepted by the Scientific Committee

b. Be under 35 years of age or below on the closing date (30 June 2010).
(applicants will be expected to show evidence of this)

c. Show evidence that they are unable to obtain other sources of funding (e.g. a letter from the institution the are attached to)

d. Be domiciled in the Asia-Pacific (i.e. the APFCB geographic) region.

e. The 5 scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis. Applicants from non- APFCB member countries are eligible to apply but they will be eligible for no more than two scholarships.

f. The value of each scholarship is S$3500. The Organising Committee has kindly agreed to waive the registration fees for successful applicants.

Applications should be submitted to the 12th APCCB Organising Committee. The selection of the successful applicants will be done by the Organising Committee of the 12th APCCB in consultation with the APFCB EB.

Please encourage all our members.
