Annual Meeting Scholarship

This Scholarship was established in 2016 and given for the first time the same year. Through different initiatives by SRAI and donations by members, the Annual Meeting Scholarships will allow two (2) recipients to benefit from leading edge education and networking opportunities offered at the Annual Meeting each year. The Scholarship includes complimentary registration (pre-conference workshops and SRAI membership are not included). 

The scholarship is open to everyone; both existing members and those who intend to join SRAI. Please note that the scholarship covers only the full meeting registration; full member SRAI dues are the responsibility of the applicant and must be paid in full prior to the meeting. The applicant must NOT be a prior recipient of  a travel scholarship within the past 5 years.
