Bursaries and fellowships

FIGO is committed to supporting researchers and helping ensure that financial barriers do not stand in the way of attending Congress. At FIGO Cape Town 2025, we were delighted to support more than 50 bursary recipients, alongside our fellowship placements, enabling researchers from across the global community to take part in Congress.
Applications for FIGO Montréal 2027 bursaries and fellowships are now open.

Bursaries

FIGO bursaries are designed to help delegates from low-income countries and countries experiencing ongoing conflict overcome financial barriers and attend FIGO Montréal 2027. Successful applicants will receive a USD $1,000 stipend, paid after attending Congress, to contribute towards travel, accommodation, registration and other expenses. Bursaries are awarded based on financial need, the applicant’s contribution to Congress through their accepted abstract submission, the potential impact of attending on their professional development, and the wider opportunity to advance women’s health and rights beyond the individual applicant. By helping remove financial barriers to attendance, FIGO aims to ensure that a diverse range of voices, experiences and expertise can be represented at Congress.

The deadline for bursary applications is 23:59 EDT on 29 October 2026. You will need your abstract submission number to apply.
