Financial Aid
Supporting the Next-Generation of Research Leaders
It is part of Keystone Symposia’s core mission to support and train the next generation of scientists, who will be the leaders and innovators of the future. Investing in these early-career scientists is how we will truly make a lasting and transformative impact on science and medicine, by providing them with the skills and inspiration to drive research in new directions.
As such, Keystone Symposia offers a variety of financial aid programs to bring these up-and-coming young scientists to our meetings, where they can take advantage of invaluable career-development opportunities. These talented trainees are integral members of the scientific community, and we value the fresh perspectives, innovative strategies and vibrant energy they bring to our conferences, and the field.
