Harvard Asia Conference | All about HPAIR 2022

In this video, I talk about the Harvard Asia Conference held in Delhi, India in August 2022. I got accepted but did not attend the conference and to cover up for that, I invited a friend who was an HPAIR delegate and he shared his experience of those 5 days. Guess what you can take away from it? We discuss tips for future aspirants!! We also talk about how one can fund their registration fee.

Does the registration fee only cover hotel accommodation and food? How about airport pickup and flight tickets?

Hi @nishthagoelsscbs , I wanted to ask are young professionals who are in the industry less than 6 months able to apply and attend this conference?

[@CAVaibhavSachdeva]

Hi Nishita,
is it possible for you to please share your resume and essays for reference, will be of much help :)

[@nishthagoelsscbs]

Hi Vaibhav. Although that may give you an idea, it will also take away the originality from your application. As mentioned in the video, they're looking for people who have different stories and know themselves. So, self reflecting and self written answers would be the best.

[@CAVaibhavSachdeva]

@@nishthagoelsscbs Sure, thanks a lot Nishtha...one more thing pls, do we need to pay for registration fees at the time of submitting the application only? Or after getting selected?

[@aishav4810]

Hi, is the HPAIR also for people who have recently graduated? or they just accept undergrads?

[@nishthagoelsscbs]

If you've received an undergraduate or a graduate degree in the last 5 years, you can apply.

[@avnimaini]

In how many days after applying did you receive acceptance letter?

[@nishthagoelsscbs]

I had applied in the early round, so got it in 6 months.

[@Rajpurohit582]

Dii Can i apply for this next yr??? And what was the fees of this conference for all 5 days including everything?

[@nishthagoelsscbs]

Hi Raj. Yes, you can apply next year. I applied in the early round so the registration fee was $495. Travel and accommodation expenses are above this. However, I got a 50% scholarship and I am from Delhi so I wouldn't have been required to pay much for accommodation.

[@Rajpurohit582]

@@nishthagoelsscbs dii how to avail this 50% scholarship

[@nishthagoelsscbs]

@@Rajpurohit582 You may be awarded this scholarship if you apply for financial aid based on your need and profile. The HPAIR team decides who gets it and who does not so really can't detail a set criteria for getting selected.

[@TamandaKaunda]

I hope 100% scholarships are available too@@nishthagoelsscbs

[@divyadiwan9022]

Is it worth it to spend 40 Grand INR for this HPAIR'23 in HongKong?

[@nishthagoelsscbs]

You can decide that based on the experience mentioned in the video and your affordability.

[@TamandaKaunda]

I applied and got emailed 2 weeks later , i'm having an interview on friday 17 november , for the scholarship @@nishthagoelsscbs

[@TamandaKaunda]

I chose to get funded by them coz I cannot afford the fees.
