To reach individuals from around the world regardless of their financial status, the course co-organisers are working with sponsors towards making competitive individual scholarships available. A scholarship is available only to candidates from low and lower-middle income countries, and would cover the registration fee for successful applicants. Depending on the source of funding, eligibility criteria might have to be applied (e.g. focus countries, involvement in specific sectors or programmes, target age groups, etc.).

Eligibility for a scholarship and the maximum amount available per scholarship is dependent on the applicant’s country of residence. Even if a scholarship is granted, a minimum financial contribution by the applicant WILL BE REQUIRED.

By submitting my application, I declare that the above information is correct.

Moreover, I declare that I have carefully read the Course and Exam Rules of the advanced education programmes in Integrated Crop Management (ICM) and that I am ready to pay the registration fee upon receipt of my registration confirmation.

As soon as the programmes’ board confirms my registration, I shall pay the full registration fee to the University of Neuchâtel myself or provide a written confirmation letter from an organisation which agrees to pay for me.

I further understand that the following withdrawal fees will apply (extract from the Course and Exam Rules):

• If a participant withdraws more than 30 days before the start of the class, an amount of CHF 300 will be retained or demanded as an administrative fee.
• In the event of withdrawal between 30 days and 15 days before the start of the class, half of the registration fee will be retained or demanded. Exceptions are possible if the participant can demonstrate valid reasons.
• If the participant withdraws within 14 days before the start of the class or after the first day of class, the full amount of the registration fee will be retained or demanded. Exceptions are possible if the participant can demonstrate valid reasons.
• These rules shall also apply if the participant’s registration fee comes in whole or in part from a scholarship.

I also understand that in the event of final disqualification (failure) from a programme, as stated in the Course and Exam Rules Art. 12 and Art. 20, no refund of the registration fee is possible.
