Scholarships

Instructions

  • You can only apply for one (1) type of scholarship. 
  • Each scholarship type requires a team of two (2) individuals. 
  • We strongly encourage both applicants from the team of two to sit down and fill out one application together because personal information from both team members and terms agreement is required within the application.  
  • Please use an email address that you have access to and check regularly.
  • All important communications are sent via email to the lead applicant only as the point of contact for the team. 

Most of our applicants apply for scholarships because their agency or organization has a small budget or has limited training funds. When completing the scholarship application, please be thorough in your explanation, beyond the above-mentioned verbiage, when requesting conference funding. 

Option 1: Nancy Ann Hunt Foundation Scholarship

Requires a team of two (2) individuals with different roles who work together collaboratively and are from outside the state of Texas. For example, a victim advocate and a detective. The team members do NOT have to work in the same agency or organization, they only need to both work in the violence against women field. This scholarship covers conference registration and four (4) nights at either the conference hotel or a nearby hotel (from Sunday check in-Thursday check out) for both individuals. Travel is not covered.
