STUDENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

With support from The MasterCard Foundation, financial assistance is available for the first 100 students registering to attend the 2011 Toronto International Microfinance Summit.

Registration and Reimbursement Process:

1. Students are required to register and pay for their conference tickets on line.

2. Upon attendance at the conference, together with the conference ticket, students will be required to show student identification at the student registration desk.

3. Validated students attending the conference will receive a reimbursement of their registration fees from MEDIC Canada, a registered charity that has undertaken to distribute the registration fees on behalf of The MasterCard Foundation.

We are excited by this opportunity that The MasterCard Foundation in conjunction with MEDIC Canada has afforded students and we look forward to seeing you at the Conference.
