International Gambling Conference Scholarship Application

Published 30 November -0001

2018 International Gambling Conference (IGC 2018) scholarships are available for New Zealand residents. These scholarships will cover the registration fee, which includes morning and afternoon teas and lunches during the conference. Attendees living in Auckland will be responsible for their own accommodation, travel arrangements and any additional costs. For attendees living outside of Auckland, the scholarship will also cover accommodation and travel costs (organised by the conference committee). Personal expenses are not included in the scholarship.

Purpose of the Scholarship
One of the objectives of the conference is to share knowledge, information and experience across countries to enable problem gambling treatment and public health service providers, research organisations, and government to work more effectively in preventing and minimising gambling-related harm. The conference thus aims to include a diverse range of individuals to represent a broad range of perspectives and experiential knowledge. We understand that lack of funding resources may mean that some individuals may not be able to participate. The purpose of the scholarship is to support the participation of such individuals.
