ITP CONFERENCE SCHOLARSHIP
As a national organisation, ITP Australia understands that travelling interstate and intrastate can be expensive for people with Immune Thrombocytopenia. ITP Australia has established a Scholarship funded through various programs and donations.
The purpose of the scholarship program is to enable ITP Patients to travel to the Annual Conference and meet other ITP Patients, Listen and Learn from Australia’s leading ITP Clinicians and give them the opportunity to share their story and journey with others.
There are three different scholarship categories. These include assistance with travel costs, overnight accommodation, or attending the conference by providing free tickets.
