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 who work in nonprofits/NGOs that serve oppressed, marginalized, and traumatized communities. We 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 housing is received.
A limited number of honorable mentions are also available (50% off registration).
Submitting a presentation or poster to ResilienceCon is a separate process. You should not wait to hear about submissions before applying for a scholarship.
