About

The Fellow Scholarship to the Annual Meeting is offered as an effort to recognize the importance of US or Canadian fellow attendance at the 2027 AAN Annual Meeting.  

The AAN is able to award this scholarship based on funding received. If no funding is received no scholarships will be awarded. Funding can come in a week prior to the meeting.  

If you are selected as a recipient of the scholarship, you must fulfill the requirements for The Sunshine Act. The Sunshine Act is intended to promote transparency in the financial relationships between physicians and industry. Recipients are required to supply the following information: Name, Address, Specialty, National Provider Identifier (if applicable and as listed in the NPPES), and State professional license number(s) (for at least one State where the physician maintains a license), and the State(s) in which the license is held. In order to receive the scholarship you must provide this information.
