Scholarship applications can only be submitted via the online submission form.  You must be logged into your M2010 Web site account to submit a scholarship application.  If you need to create an account, please select the "CREATE ACCOUNT" link from the top right of the page.  If you would like to login to your existing account, please input your login information in the boxes at the top right of the screen.

If you previously created an account, but forgot your user ID and / or password, please select the link "REQUEST NEW PASSWORD" at the top right of the page.

Please carefully review the scholarship application prior to its submission. You have the option to save your scholarship application in draft form if you anticipate the need to make changes prior to final submission. Note that if a scholarship application has been entered in draft form but not submitted as final prior to the 6:00 p.m. (eastern time) deadline on January 4, 2010, it is not technically submitted and therefore will not be reviewed. Please do not enter multiple submissions of the scholarship application.

Step-by-step instructions are incorporated into the online scholarship application; however, if you require assistance, or have any questions or concerns about the scholarship program or application / selection process, please send an e-mail to the conference organizers by clicking here or utilizing this e-mail address: M2010info@microbicides2010.org.
