2016 Scholarship Information • Back to Top
NAME Conference Scholarships
Limited scholarship awards are available to NAME members and college students in need of financial assistance to attend our annual conferences. Scholarship funds can help with all or part of the conference registration fee and travel costs (an effort will be made to set up carpools). No lodging stipend is available, but sharing accommodations is encouraged to reduce costs. See application for details.
Criteria: Scholarship awards are based on financial need and applicability of conference content to career/future career of the applicant. Applicants must not be a voting member of the NAME Board of Directors, or a Contributing Member (organization, institution or corporation membership), and must not have been awarded a scholarship for the last three NAME Annual Conferences.
Selection and Award: All applications for NAME scholarships are confidential and will be seen only by the NAME Scholarship Committee, made up of NAME board members and past scholarship recipients. Applications for scholarships are accepted through noon on the 1st of July. Applications received after July 1 will be awarded as funds permit. Successful applicants will complete the regular conference registration form, indicating in the space provided that they are scholarship recipients and are deducting the scholarship amount from the total due.
Conference Registration: Scholarship applicants can register for the conference at any time and defer payment until scholarship decisions are made. If a scholarship award is not granted and an applicant decides not to attend the conference, he or she may withdraw their registration with no penalty through July 7.
Application: To apply, please complete the scholarship application for the 2016 conference and submit it by July 1, 2016.
Please contact Fawn Custer (envtgsldrfawn@aol.com) for more information.
