Through the Developing Country Scholarship Program, scientists, health-care workers, and public health administrators from all over the world are given the opportunity to participate in this conference. In 1999, on behalf of the conference organizers, HAI awarded scholarships to 231 individuals from 37 different developing countries—from Argentina to Zimbabwe—to participate in the second "Conference on Global Strategies for the Prevention of HIV Transmission from Mothers to Infants" held in Montreal, Canada. Many qualified individuals requested support, and after a careful review, the scholarship committee granted awards of varying degrees to all those who applied to the scholarship program.
