Scholarships

Thank you for your interest in attending the 2024 State of the Estuary Conference. A scholarship fund has been established to ease financial barriers of participation for members of small community-based organizations, Tribes and Native-led organizations, students and early career professionals, and people from under-resourced and/or otherwise marginalized communities.  

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and supporters, we are able to provide a limited number of conference fee waiver scholarships. We hope that this fund will support a more accessible and inclusive State of the Estuary Conference.

Scholarship recipients for the cancelled conference dates do not need to resubmit their scholarship requests. They have been contacted directly by the conference organizers.

New scholarship requests should be submitted using the request form at the bottom of this page, or through this link: Scholarship Request Form. The deadline to request a scholarship is May 9, 2024. All applicants will be notified with the results of their request after the submission deadline.
