Successful community service projects require a team working together toward a common goal. Therefore, scholarships are available to a limited number of New York State applicants this year who register as part of a 3-person team. Teams consist of:

K-14 teacher
7th-12th grade student
and local public official (such as a member of a town board, planning committee, etc or a community volunteer).

The scholarships are valued at $500 and cover the following costs for each team member:

Registration fee
Lodging Sunday – Thursday nights (2 to a room)
Lunches and dinners

Be sure to include your team mates on the application if you are interested in receiving scholarships.

The conference committee is currently seeking other sources of funding to provide similar scholarships to applicants who do not come as part of a team or come from outside New York State. There is no guarantee we will get additional funding, so please be prepared to pay these costs yourself.
