We hope that this scholarship program removes barriers for graduate students and new professionals so they are able to attend Convention or be a part of ACPA in a way that is more financially feasible.
This year, we are excited to be able to provide three different types of scholarships in an effort to widen access for all.
Convention Scholarship
This scholarship is intended to cover the cost of registering for Convention.
A qualified applicant must:
- be a current graduate student (Masters or Doctoral) or in the first 1-5 years of their professional role at the time of the 2022 Annual Convention.
- plan to attend the 2022 Annual Convention March 6-9, 2022 in St. Louis.
If you are awarded the Convention Registration scholarship, you are expected to:
- attend conference sessions at Annual Convention 2022
- attend at least one Graduate Student and New Professionals Endorsed session and either take a photo of yourself at the session or with the sign outside the room. (more details to come)
- write a short reflection essay re: what you learned at Convention to be published in the ACPA GSNP Newsletter, the Eighth Vector, and on our website
APPLICATIONS ARE DUE DECEMBER 13, 2021. Convention Registration Scholarship Application is available at this link.
Flat-Rate Scholarship
This scholarship is intended to cover other financial needs associated with Convention other than registration (hotel, meals, etc.) as we know that institutions might only fund certain parts of attendance. This scholarship will most likely come in the form of a reimbursement – more information will shared at the time of acceptance.
A qualified candidate must:
