Grant funds may not be disbursed to fellows unless proof of insurance is in hand. AIYS in awarding a fellowship to individual students and researchers acts only in a facilitating capacity between the original funding agency and the individual researcher. AIYS assumes no responsibility for the viability or success of the funded project or for the individual supported. Fellows are to stay in the AIYS hostel in Sana'a whenever feasible. The AIYS center in Sana'a contains a library, hostel, conference and working rooms, and the AIYS office.
Special rates are available for double or triple occupancy and for students.
The AIYS hostel includes basic working and library facilities. Fellows needing a computer for their work should plan to bring their own.
