NABWMT SCHOLARSHIPS AND FUNDS
For details please email us
The Michael John Smith Scholarship Fund (named in honor of NABWMT’s founder) helps individuals with demonstrated financial need attend the annual NABWMT convention, particularly so the recipient can take advantage of the educational programming at the core of the convention’s purpose. Applicants may apply to have some or all of the convention registration fee covered by this fund.
The Wendell Roberson Fund (named in memory of the late Wendell Roberson of Chicago) serves a purpose like the Michael John Smith Scholarship Fund insofar as it helps individuals with demonstrated financial need attend the NABWMT convention. Whereas an award from the Michael John Smith scholarship fund covers some or all of the convention registration fee, an award from the Wendell Roberson Fund may be used to cover some portion of the key expenses normally incurred to attend the convention. Examples include transportation, lodging, and/or meals. First priority for Wendell Roberson Fund awards is given to persons living with HIV who also have a demonstrated financial need. Second priority is given to persons not living with HIV who nonetheless have a demonstrated financial need. Wendell Roberson Funds are disbursed directly to the vendor (i.e. to the hotel or airline) or on a reimbursement basis for approved purposes (i.e. meals) upon furnishing valid receipts.
The Ken Pavlick Fund -limited number to attendees:
– First time $75
– Returning Friends after 10 years $75
– 35 and under $50
