The Developing Country Scholar Award is intended to support scholars from a developing country to attend an AIESEP conference in order to recognize their scholarly work and create stronger connections between AIESEP and developing countries.

The Young Scholar Award was established in 2001 by former AIESEP Board Member Eitan Eldar (Isreal). The intent of the award is to recognise early career scholars within the field who demonstrate outstanding scholarly contribution/promise.

The AIESEP Fellowship is an outstanding academic recognition, which is awarded to qualified scholars.
