Life Paths Promising Advocate Award

We are offering four full scholarships for participants who focus on advocacy for under-served or marginalized communities.  Full scholarships include conference registration and a $200 housing allowance for people who travel to Nashville from outside the area. We will pay full scholarship winners a $200 housing reimbursement after a submission of receipt from a hotel, AirBNB, or other forms of housing is received.

Applicants must meet both of the following eligibility criteria: Currently working at a non-profit organization serving people or communities who are historically underserved or have experienced violence, marginalization, or distress.

*We will give preference to people in full-time advocacy, first responder, and practitioner positions.

Scholarship winners are expected to attend the entire conference. 

Please also submit your abstract to the conference submissions page. The following form is only to be considered for the award. People who wish to present should also submit their proposal through the conference submission portal.

Submitting a presentation or poster to ResilienceCon is a separate process. You should not wait to hear about submissions before applying for a scholarship.
