Yes, SSHIA offers a limited number of fee waivers and scholarships each year, primarily for:
- Students from low-income backgrounds enrolled in accredited health informatics programmes
- Health workers in remote or underserved areas of South Sudan
- Members experiencing documented financial hardship
To apply for a fee waiver, submit a written request to the SSHIA Membership Desk explaining your circumstances, along with supporting documentation (e.g., student enrolment letter, employer letter, or financial hardship declaration). Applications are reviewed by the Membership Committee on a case-by-case basis.
SSHIA also partners with international organisations such as WHO, UNICEF, and health informatics associations in the region to provide sponsored memberships for qualifying professionals. Watch the SSHIA website and social media channels for announcements about sponsored membership opportunities.
