A limited number of scholarships will be available for the OBOC. 

If scholarships are provided, by default they will only cover either 5%, 10%, 25% or 50% of the participation fee; only in exceptional cases will a scholarship cover more than 50% of the participation fee.

Scholarships apply only to the participation fee; all participants are responsible for covering their own travel, housing and any other expenses.

Scholarships are awarded at the organisation's discretion; the primary criterium is financial need, but other criteria can include the overall diversity, quality and experience within the participant group, as well as any other factors that the organisation might consider relevant. 

As part of your registration, we require you to confirm that you have filled out the information above truthfully and to agree to our Terms & Conditions (click here), which includes (amongst others) the information shared on our FAQ page (click here).
