Fine print:

– Applicants must be credentialed school counselors or graduate students in a certified school counseling masters program to qualify. Need not be working full time to qualify.
– Applicant roles will be verified before funds are distributed.
– Recipients will be notified prior to the March 1st priority registration deadlines. Please plan on registering by that date.
– We understand that life happens and plans change. If you receive a scholarship and are not able to attend – please contact Jeff or Carol. We ask that funds be donated back to the scholarship in this instance.
– Only completed applications are considered.

Applications are reviewed based on several criteria, but not in this particular priority order:
– Demonstrated need of funding
– Impact of attending ASCA 2016 on your school and community
– Goals linked to attending ASCA 2016
– First time attenders
– Diversity in work setting (Elem, MS, HS / Rural or Urban / etc)
– And more.

While we wish we can give a scholarship to each applicant – we have to select a few each year. If you apply and are not selected this year – please apply in future years. We try not to select past recipients (though you may apply each year) to give as many people a chance to attend ASCA as we can. Best of luck and thanks for being an awesome school counselor!
