To provide scholarship support for international trainees, the International Health and Membership Committees of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) are pleased to announce the availability of the ATS International Trainee Scholarships (ITS) for the academic year 2022-2023.

The scholarship will be awarded to students attending the ATS International Conference at the American Thoracic Society. The scholarship will likely cover the expense of attending the conference at ATS. Applicants from outside USA and Canada that are trainees at the moment will be eligible.
