Travel Support
Travel Support
We will offer a limited number of travel scholarships to provide support for individuals who otherwise would not be able to attend the conference. Scholarships will be open to local government staff and elected officials, nonprofit organizations, community-based organizations, Tribal representatives and other community leaders. Sign up for our conference mailing list to receive notification when the application process opens.
The total available funding for scholarships and the number of scholarships we are able to provide will be, to some extent, dependent upon sponsorships from conference supporters. If you are interested in providing sponsorship to support conference participation, please see our Sponsors page for additional information about levels and benefits.
