Funding the whole cost of the trip

You will be expected to finance at least 25% of costs of the trip yourself or from other sources. Please be aware that they are not always able to fund you to the full amount that you have requested. Therefore, when budgeting for your trip, please take into account that you might not receive the full 75% that you have applied for.

When allocating funding PRSF seek out the cost of the cheapest possible flights, transfers and accomodation options at the time of decision and use these as bechmarks when assessing budgets laid out in applications.
