Applications are closed.
Selected applicants will be notified on a rolling basis. We appreciate your patience.
Applicants should NOT register for vGHC EMEA on their own. If they are selected, the scholars will receive instructions on how to register. The last day for scholars to register is May 9.
If they are not selected, applicants will be able to register for the event as general attendees. Please do NOT register until you receive a notification about your application.
Note: If you receive a vGHC EMEA Scholarship and do not notify AnitaB.org that you cannot attend the Celebration, you will not be eligible in future years as this takes an opportunity away from another individual that could have attended.
Please note that as a U.S. based organization, we must comply with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including those regarding financial transactions with certain countries and individuals. We will contact you if these laws and regulations affect your complimentary registration/grant or if we require more information to make such a determination.
