Applications for Promising Scholars and Advocates

Scholarship winners are expected to attend the entire conference, April 14-16, 2024. 

People who wish to present should also submit their proposal through the conference submission portal.

Life Paths Promising Scholar Award: We are offering four scholarships to current students, post-baccalaureate fellows, and post-doctoral fellows that focus on under-served or marginalized communities.

Life Paths Promising Advocate Award: We will also be offering four scholarships for advocates. New this year, we are removing the cap on number of years in the field because we recognize that there are diverse career pathways to advocacy.
*We will give preference to people in full-time advocacy, first responder, and practitioner positions.

Scholarship Details

Both the full Promising Scholar and Promising Advocate awards 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.

A limited number of honorable mentions are also available (50% off registration).
