Scholarship program.

The AAGT and EAGT are very proud of their respective traditions of helping persons who are financially challenged to attend their conferences. Keeping with the principle of social responsibility in mind, and with how this principle needs to be reflected internally, we decided to create a joint AAGT/EAGT Scholarship program for the conference in Taormina, Sicily. Please find below the information for donating and applying to our Scholarship fund.

Information for donors

The joint AAGT/EAGT scholarship program was created to help remove barriers by enabling persons in need of financial assistance from the worldwide Gestalt community to participate, meet colleagues and friends, and share at the Taormina conference. We believe both our organizations will be immeasurably enriched as a result of our program.

The AAGT and EAGT strive to get external funds available for our colleagues and friends who would not be able to join the conference because of costs.

We also call members of AAGT and EAGT who have more financial resources to make a donation.
