Scholarships
Thanks to the generous help of our supporters, we are pleased to offer two scholarship options to attend NMEBC 2021. You can contribute to this effort by becoming a “Title Supporter” or through an individual contribution.
The General Scholarship Fund and the Judith F. Taggart Founder’s Award
Apply for one or both.
General Scholarship FundEstablished many years ago by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and The Conservation Fund, our Supporters join them each year to continue this important effort. Full and partial scholarships are available with priority given to state and tribal entities, but also open to nonprofits and academia who are unable to cover their costs of participation. The Fund typically provides for the registration fee. If looking for additional assistance, please be specific with your needs. Scholarship applications will be asked to provide the following: name and title & organization, address and phone number; your objective(s) for attending the conference; and specific funding needs. Scholarships will be considered as they are received. Thanks to EPA and all our Title Supporters for your support of scholarships! |
