REGISTRATION FEE
Currently, the Registration Fee for the Colloquium and Field Study are estimated at $750.00. This fee includes conference materials, Field Study hotel nights, most dinners and lunches (and coffee breaks), and all Field Study admission and transportation. We have submitted a range of funding applications and are hopeful that we will be able to reduce the registration costs before Colloquium Registration opens in March 5, 2019.
2019 SCHOLARSHIPS FOR GLOBAL SOUTH Ph.D. CANDIDATES
