NYCMER is able to provide a number of applicants who would not be able to attend the 2024 NYCMER Conference without financial support.

This scholarship is intended for people who would have a hard time paying for their conference attendance on their own. All are welcome to attend the conference, and you do not need to be a member to apply for the scholarship. If you have institutional support that will pay for your registration, we please ask that you explore that option before you apply for the scholarship, as the number of scholarship sports is very limited.

Conference fees are:

$25 for current students

$75 early bird member pricing (limited number available)

$90 members

$100 for not-yet-members

Below, we ask that you provide us with some personal information. This information will be kept confidential. The NYCMER Vice President will initially review the applications and remove any identifying information about the applicants. A small number of people on the NYCMER Board will make the final determination, and this information will not be share elsewhere.

In order to be considered for a scholarship, you must submit the form below. It should take 10-15 minutes to complete. You do not have to provide any supporting documentation. You will automatically receive a copy of your answers to the email address below. Application deadline extended through 11:59 PM on Wednesday, May 8, 2024.
