WASFAA is pleased to offer to our membership scholarships. Each scholarship provides a free registration and in some cases travel assistance (recipient must use WASFAA Travel Reimbursement form). Scholarship winners are responsible for current WASFAA membership dues.

Each scholarship recipient is responsible for writing an article for the WASFAA Newsletter (i.e., their experience at the event, benefits of being a WASFAA Scholarship recipient, etc.). The deadline for applying is 60 days prior to the start of the event.
