2016 Annual Conference Scholarship Recipients.
We value the involvement of students, working professionals, and volunteers whose institutional support is insufficient to attend our upcoming Annual Conference “Battling the Bloom.” To help offset costs of conference attendance, NCPC offers a limited number of conference scholarships. The scholarship is intended to promote continuing preservation education and professional networking and covers full registration. It does not cover travel, lodging, or other expenses.
Applicants must be employed by or volunteer at a North Carolina institution with a preservation mission that has little or no funding for professional development, or be a graduate student enrolled in a preservation related discipline at a college or university in North Carolina.
The application process couldn’t be simpler. Simply tell us why attendance is important for you. To apply for a scholarship, please send an email explaining why attendance is important to you to the NCPC Executive Director by October 31st. Early registration fees will be honored for any applicants who are not granted a scholarship.
