EPSA Support Fund<br />
Offering the opportunity to attend an EPSA event<br />
EPSA thinks about its members, especially the ones who cannot afford to attend its events but wish to<br />
experience the EPSA spirit at least once in their student life. The EPSA Support Fund offers fifty percent<br />
reduction of the congress fees to the applicants lucky enough to get it! Below you can read how some past<br />
Support Fund receivers found this opportunity. Follow us regularly to be updated on when the next call will<br />
be opened!<br />

What was my motivation to apply for a Support Fund? The answer is very easy. I have fallen in love<br />
with EPSA and its congresses, their atmosphere, members and ideas since I had my very first chance<br />
to discover all of them. However, in my opinion, I am not the only one who thinks that the registration<br />
fees and even more, the flight tickets to the congress destinations, might be somehow unaffordable for<br />
regular students.<br />
In our association and country, you get a financial support only if you are an official delegate at the<br />
congress or a member of the EPSA Team. Logically, I understand it.<br />
Definitely, I think that the EPSA Support Fund is a<br />
great chance for students who are very active and<br />
involved in students’ pharmaceutical associations<br />
to get to the congress, but are not official delegates<br />
YET (when considering the system in our country).<br />
After all, they once might become a part of the EPSA<br />
Team and this could be the first step.<br />

I believe that every pharmacy student should attend an international event but unfortunately, paying a<br />
fee, transportation and having some pocket money is not always easy for everyone. I had previously<br />
heard about the Support Fund but in my mind I thought “Why would they grant me the support fund?<br />
I am not an official delegate neither a member of my students’ association” but thankfully I decided to<br />
go for it.<br />
In my opinion, this EPSA initiative is great and very clever too. With the Support Fund, I was able<br />
to attend my first EPSA congress in 2015 in Toulouse by<br />
paying only half of the regular fee. It definitely changed<br />
my perspective about my studies, my future career, other<br />
cultures and so many other things that I could not have<br />
ever imagined. So, for those who give up by just looking at<br />
the price, perhaps the Support Fund could be an option.<br />
