Event Information

Coming Fall 2024

SSWAA understands that students may face financial barriers to attending professional conferences. Yet, SSWAA believes that there is much value to be gained in the attendance at professional conferences including exposure to best practice professional training, access to networking opportunities, and insights into the field of practice that can assist with career planning. In responsiveness to this need, SSWAA provides limited student scholarships for attendance at the SSWAA National Conference.

The student volunteer scholarships are made possible by Endowment Fund donations. SSWAA reserves the right to discontinue this service.
