The 2027 round helps student and low-income members reach CAA2027 in Santiago, Chile (17–20 May 2027). Awards are limited in number and paid out at the conference.
Benefits & funding
- A contribution to travel costs, paid in euros by bank transfer during the conference.
- The maximum depends on 2027 membership status and distance from Santiago (bursary table in the application); CAA may award less than requested.

- Recipients hand in a form in person at the conference to receive funds.
