2024 AACRAO Annual Meeting Grants

Applications are open for grants to help cover registration fees for the 109th AACRAO Annual Meeting. Whether you are an early career professional or an experienced AACRAO member, we offer two opportunities to cover meeting registration costs.

Conner Scholarship 

Provides support for AACRAO members to participate in the AACRAO Annual Meeting by fully covering the registration fee. Applicants must submit a personal statement describing why they have chosen enrollment and academic services as their profession, as well as the personal and professional benefits of the scholarship to their position, department, and institution.

Tina Falkner Engagement Grant 

Supports continued engagement at AACRAO meetings and is available to members with a demonstrated financial need that prevents them from attending a meeting and fulfilling their professional obligation as a member of a committee, caucus, and/or work group. This is a one-time grant award in the form of a meeting registration waiver.

To submit your application and view a full description of the grants and eligibility, visit AACRAO Grants & Scholarships.
