SCHOLARSHIPS

The scholarship application period is now closed. Thank you to everyone who applied. We will be letting applicants know if they received a scholarship by September 21. If you applied for a scholarship, please wait until you find out whether you received one before you register for the conference.

For the 2015 It Takes a Region Conference we are offering two types of scholarships:

• Full scholarships cover all registration fees and two nights lodging – the total value of this scholarship is $345. Lodging will be a shared room, double occupancy.
• Partial scholarships cover $120 of the conference registration fee. Partial scholarship recipients pay $80 to attend. (Note: this scholarship does not cover lodging.)

Scholarship Priorities

Scholarships are intended to support attendance and create a pathway to engage in the NESAWG network for those in need of financial assistance. In reviewing requests, our selection priorities include:

• Financial Need
• People of Color diversity
• Geographic diversity within the Northeast
• Community leaders and emerging leaders
• Professional diversity
