International travel stipend program
We want to help RSNA members in low- to middle-resource countries travel to RSNA 2022 at a reduced cost. Learn about the International Travel Stipend Program below.
About the program
RSNA members can improve local health care with the knowledge and experience they gain at our annual meeting. We know there can be significant costs associated with traveling to Chicago—that's why we created the International Travel Stipend Program.
This needs-based award provides eligible members from low- to middle-income countries with financial support to travel to the RSNA annual meeting.
Up to 25 awards of $1,000 and free standard registration to the annual meeting are available. Preference will be given to first-time applicants.

- Candidates must specify how the knowledge and experience gained from attending the RSNA annual meeting will benefit and impact local health care.
- Recipients must personally attend the RSNA annual meeting to claim the travel stipend.
