> >
> > A. Travel, registration, accommodation and meals
> > B. Travel and registration only
> > C. Registration only
> > D. Local student helper (for students in the Cape Town area who are
> > willing to help with the conference activities)
> >
> > Funds are limited, although we are still trying to raise more, so
> > bursaries will only be available to delegates who have submitted an
> > abstract for either an oral or poster presentation. No daily
> > subsistance allowances will be paid, nor will visa processing fees or
> > any other expenses incurred on the 'home side', so please don't ask :-)
> > Priority will be given to:
> > 1. Achieving the aims of our donors for particular funds who wish to

> > 2. Achieving attendance by those who will be involved in the first

> > 3. Regional representation of members of FOSSFA, and as broad as
