We believe financial circumstances should never be a barrier to accessing opportunities.

IYLDS 2026 aims to make participation accessible to students from diverse financial backgrounds. Limited funded seats and need-based financial assistance opportunities may be available for selected delegates, subject to sponsorships, eligibility and funding availability.

For eligible participants attending any in-person activities, limited travel and accommodation assistance may also be considered. All financial assistance, including travel support, will be subject to availability and individual confirmation by the organizing team.

Students interested in financial assistance will be able to indicate their requirements during the application process.
