Travel Support Scholarships
&
Best Poster Awards
The Conservation Asia Congress Nepal 2026 (CAC Nepal 2026) is proud to offer two key opportunities to support and recognize our delegates: Travel Support Scholarships and the Best Poster Awards Competition. By managing both portfolios, our leadership committee ensures that resources are directed toward both celebrating research excellence and fostering inclusivity.
Travel Support Scholarships
Travel Support Scholarships are intended to facilitate attendance at the Congress and to help reduce financial barriers for presenters whose participation would otherwise be limited.
Application Status & Notifications
Please note: The application period for Travel Support Scholarships is now closed, as applications were submitted concurrently with abstract submissions.
The majority of travel support distributions were communicated by the end of the Early Bird registration period. However, further distributions and adjustments may occur as additional funding becomes available, up until the end of the Regular Registration period. If you applied for a travel bursary, please keep a close eye on your email communications until then.
Nature of the Award
- Travel Support Scholarships are provided as a fixed amount.
- The award may be used to partially support travel costs, and/or may (or may not) include a full or partial Congress registration waiver, depending on individual need, distance travelled, and available funding.
- The scholarship is intended as a contribution toward expenses and may not cover all costs associated with attendance.
Best Poster Awards Competition
In addition to travel support, CAC Nepal 2026 is excited to host the Best Poster Awards Competition. We are excited to recognize this year's outstanding poster presentations.
Eligibility & Prizes
- Eligibility: All accepted posters are automatically entered into the competition.
- The Prizes: Three outstanding poster presenters will be awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Each winner will receive a 2-year SCB Membership (highly flexible; can be activated any time up to 5 years from the award date).
Selection Process: Popular Vote!
The best posters will be chosen by the conference participants through a popular vote! We encourage all delegates to engage with our poster presenters and support their incredible work. Please cast your vote for the best student poster below!
