About
During years when the AMS Annual Meeting is held online, the AMS offers Annual Meeting Registration Waivers to international applicants from countries with a per-capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) below $41,000. These waivers are intended to support annual meeting attendance by individuals for whom a US dollar-denominated registration fee may present an unduly high financial barrier given the prevailing wages and prices in their home countries.
Recipients of Annual Meeting Registration Waivers will receive full waivers of the annual meeting registration fee. This year’s online annual meeting will be held 14–15 November and 19–20 November 2026.
Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. ET on 1 September 2026.
Eligibility
To be eligible for an Annual Meeting Registration Waiver, applicants must currently reside in a country with a per-capita GDP below $41,000, as determined by the most recent international economic data published by the World Bank (WB). To determine whether your country is eligible, please consult the list available on their website. Eligibility is subject to applicable US laws and regulations, including restrictions related to trade, commerce, or economic sanctions.
Current Residency Requirement: In order to be eligible for an Annual Meeting Registration Waiver, applicants must be a “current resident” of an eligible country and must have resided there continuously for at least the last 12 months. Applicants cannot be a student or foreign national working or studying in the United States or another country who claims the eligible address as a “permanent address,” but has not been continuously residing there for at least the last 12 months.
Applicants from eligible countries who are presenting at the annual meeting will automatically receive an Annual Meeting Registration Waiver, but must still apply. Remaining waivers will be awarded by lottery. Applicants do not need to be presenting at the annual meeting to be eligible.
