Scholarships
There are a limited number of scholarships available to New York State applicants
who come as part of a 3-person team. The team consists 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 cover the registration fee, all meals, lodging and 1-year ESRI
site license for ArcMap.
The online application must be filled out by all three team members and submitted by May 15, prior to the general registration deadline, in order to be considered for a scholarship.
Lodging
Participants traditionally stay at a local hotel close to CCC as there
is no on-campus housing. The hotel can arrange for participants to share
a room if you choose to share a room and have not made arrangements with
another attendee. Workshop participants are responsible for making their
own reservations and paying for the room. Naturally, you may also commute
to the conference or choose other accommodations.
