Overview

NACIS has travel grant initiatives that invest in the future growth and strength of the organization. These initiatives (1) encourage student attendance and participation at the annual fall meeting, and (2) support the attendance of general NACIS members to attend the annual meeting who could not otherwise attend due to financial limitations. In accordance with NACIS’ commitment to diversity and inclusion, at least 20% of all budgeted travel grant awards will be prioritized for individuals from minority or underrepresented groups. Grants awarded will be up to $500 in value, dependent on the need of the applicant. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Issuance of grants will begin on the deadline and continue until all funds have been allocated.
