GRANTS & AWARDS
Educational Grants
A limited number of educational grants will be awarded to Young Investigators whose highly-rated abstracts are accepted for oral or poster presentation.
Young Investigators are defined as individuals aged 35 or younger (born on or after January 1, 1991). Eligibility may also be extended to individuals whose study time has been interrupted due to maternity leave, caregiving responsibilities, or other justified time away from work or study.
Educational grants are available to onsite participants only. Recipients will receive complimentary registration and travel support for MSToronto2026. Grant funds will be distributed after the conclusion of the meeting.
How to Apply
During abstract submission, select the appropriate Educational Grant checkbox.
You must upload proof of eligibility in the form of either a copy of your passport showing a clearly readable date of birth, or a maternity leave certificate or other documentation confirming a justified cause. Applications submitted without the required documentation, or received after the submission deadline, will not be considered.
Grant recipients will be notified in late July 2026, following notification of abstract acceptance.
