Scholarship FAQsHow many scholarships will be given out? Children’s Administration provided approximately 265 scholarships. I am a scholarship recipient. What hotel will I be staying at? Howard Johnson How many scholarships will be given out? The timeframe to apply for a conference scholarship has passed. The scholarship application period ran from June 1 – June 30, 2008. What about children? We hope that foster parents, adoptive parents and relative caregivers take this valuable time to focus on a respite for themselves and to concentrate on the informative workshops, training and networking opportunities available at the conference. As in the past, child care will not be provided at the conference. Children are always welcome but caregivers are responsible for making child care arrangements during the conference. If couples apply, will they receive one or two scholarships? If selected, couples will each receive one scholarship that will cover the conference fee and hotel accommodations (if selected for a Full Conference Scholarship) for each person. If I get a Full Conference scholarship, do I need to make my own hotel arrangements? No. You will have the opportunity to select your hotel arrangements online while registering. We will forward your hotel request on to the designated Scholarship recipient hotel. If I am a scholarship recipient, why do I need to share a hotel room? Two people sharing a room helps keep the cost down so more people can attend the conference. If I don’t receive a scholarship, can I still attend the conference? Yes. You can pay the conference registration fee of $180.00 or one day registration fee of $90.00, and make your own hotel arrangements. What meals will be provided at the conference? Sunday, September 21 - Lunch, Dinner |
