THE FUND
The ISPSO Scholarship Fund is a vital initiative to support member engagement, promote equity, and strengthen the organisation’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. By providing
financial assistance to members in need, ISPSO reinforces its mission to foster psychoanalytic study and practice in organisational settings across diverse contexts.
The ISPSO Scholarship Fund aims to provide financial assistance to members who require support to participate in ISPSO professional development activities, including conferences, workshops,
and other events. The fund seeks to foster greater inclusivity and diversity within ISPSO by enabling participation from members with varied financial circumstances, particularly those from
underrepresented regions or communities.
A committee appointed by ISPSO administers the fund in line with the ISPSO Scholarship Fund Policy.
