Subject to availability of funds, one full fellowship or two partial fellowships may be awarded per eligible Member State to participate in the TDAG Meeting.
Please refer to the ITU Fellowships Portal for the Policy for awarding fellowships for events and activities funded through the ITU regular budget and for the list of Member States eligible to receive ITU fellowships.
The decision criteria to grant a fellowship include:
- available ITU budget;
- equitable distribution among countries and regions;
- gender balance and the inclusion of persons with disabilities and persons with specific needs;

In this respect, the amount granted to any one individual shall not exceed ten thousand (10 000) Swiss Francs in a financial year.
- Member States wishing to apply for an ITU fellowship must not have any type of debt related to the contributions derived from their contributory unit, except those who have agreed to a repayment plan and are in compliance with their obligations. See list of
