Travel Scholarship Program

Travel scholarship donations help ISOQOL give more scholarships to Annual Conference attendees who are students, new investigators, patients or from developing countries. These scholarships include Annual Conference registration, one-year membership and support to offset travel costs.

#MovethePlane

​Help ISOQOL #MovethePlane in 2024! In 2023, the Travel Scholarship program received 61 applications requesting over $150,000 in travel support. In response, we are bringing back the #MovethePlane Fundraiser.

Every dollar donated moves the plane 1 kilometer. Help move the plane 7,000 km from the 2024 Annual Conference location (Cologne, Germany) to the 2025 Annual Conference location (Milwaukee, WI, USA) by Giving Tuesday on 3 December 2024.
