Endowment Annual Session Scholarships

NEAFCS Annual Sessions provide an eclectic and wide array of professional development and networking opportunities for its members. It’s been said that once you attend one, it’s easy to get hooked for life! It can also be financially challenging for some members to attend because of the cost. The Endowment is now offering a limited number of scholarships to help defray the cost of registration or lodging to attend Annual Session. This application is open to first-time attendees of the NEAFCS Annual Session only. The application deadline for these scholarships is May 15.

Scholarship Requirements:

• NEAFCS members can receive only one (1) scholarship towards Annual Session per year equivalent to the cost of registration.
• The scholarship does not include registration for educational offerings requiring additional fees such as Pre-Conference Workshops, In Depth Sessions, additional event tickets, etc.
• Scholarship awardees will receive a special code to use when registering for Annual Session or for lodging at one of the host hotels.

• Scholarship winners will not be charged a late fee if registering past the early-bird deadline. All scholarship winners must pre-register for Annual Session. 
• Scholarships are NOT transferable. If the member receiving the scholarship is unable to attend, the scholarship will be forfeited.
