The Young BPW Congress Fund is administered by the Executive, in
accordance with the recommendations accepted by the 17th Congress
in 1985, to assist business and professional women under the age of
35 to participate in BPW International Congresses. Applications for
assistance must be submitted to the Executive Finance Officer on
the attached form. One Young BPW member is chosen from each region
to receive financial help towards travel and/or registration
expenses for the Cairo Congress at the total of 1,000 Euro
each.
Guidelines
To ensure a fair and well-balanced use of the Fund and
facilitate its administration and distribution, the following
guidelines are applied:
1. The Finance Officer informs the available fund for grants for
executive consideration/ approval.
2. The total of the approved grants cannot exceed the balance of
the Fund.
3. Preference is given to applications from Affiliates most in
need.
4. Grants are made on the basis of not more than one recipient
per country.
5. Consideration is only given to applicants from Affiliates
whose dues for the current and the previous years have been paid in
full.
6. Grants are restricted to members under the age of 35 years on
the opening day of the General Assembly.
Payment is only made at the Congress on production of
receipts/invoices for costs actually incurred after deduction of
any unpaid dues (including for the current year), registration fees
and other amounts owing to BPW International. Requests for payment
in advance will not be considered.
The Finance Officer will notify all applicants in writing of the
