IOSC Scholarship Program is intended to assist government representatives, academics, NGO’s or those involved in spill response whose attendance will enhance preparedness in their region of the world.

Scholarships are both merit and need-based. The IOSC 2027 Scholarship Committee selects scholarship recipients at their discretion. Not all applicants will receive a scholarship.

Scholarships include support for travel, lodging and/or complimentary registration. Recipients may also attend Short Courses at no cost if space is available.
