Convention Scholarships Available
The Convention Committee, through the generosity of the Area 61 membership, is making available a limited number of Convention Scholarships to the 2025 Area 61 Convention via a lottery system. A Convention Scholarship is a Registration fee paid to the Registrar in the name of a scholarship recipient or granted to an applicant out of the scholarship funds that give that recipient total access to all meetings for the entire weekend. These scholarships are intended for those individuals who would not otherwise be able to attend the Convention.
Individuals who wish to apply for a scholarship may do so by filling out the form below. Those who have questions or who wish to apply themselves should email their name, email address and home group(if you have one) to conventionscholarships@
