About the Scholarship
The International Astronomical Union is a voluntary organization that seeks to advance astronomy in all spheres, especially through fostering international collaboration in astronomical research, outreach, education, and development. It is headquartered in Paris, France, and was established in 1919.
In 2024, Cape Town, South Africa, will play home to the 32nd General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) (GA2024).
The General Assembly will be convened in Africa for the first time in the IAU’s more than 100-year existence, which presents a unique chance to highlight the continent’s cutting-edge research infrastructure and top-notch scientific expertise.
The Africa 2024 scholarships will pay for all expenses related to studying abroad, including tuition, one international round-trip ticket, visa fees, medical insurance, housing costs, and stipend.
The chance to volunteer at the General Assembly 2024 will also be advantageous to scholarship applicants because it will allow them to network with other members of the international astronomy community.
