The scholarship is available to current NACAS West members who otherwise might not be able to attend.  The purpose of the scholarship is to “make the connections that count” in the West.

Awards are based on the financial need, membership status, contributions to the field, and potential to give back to the field. Scholarships are awarded to cover the full conference registration fee, accommodations, and transportation only.

If you are selected to receive a scholarship, please know that you will be responsible for any meals not part of the general conference and other expenses for the conference. Please note that accommodations and transportation must be arranged with a NACAS West representative.
