RNA invites active members to apply for scholarships to attend RNA’s 64th Annual Conference September 26-28, 2013 in Austin, Texas. Stipends of up to $1,000 per person will be awarded for registration, hotel and travel fees to attend. All active RNA members who have not received more than two conference scholarships are eligible. Priority will be given to active members who have never received a scholarship. Made possible by Religion News Foundation’s Conference Scholarship Fund.

Online application opens during the spring. Applicants should prepare a current resumé and a statement of need. Recipients will be notified during the summer. Scholarship applicants should register for the conference by choosing the “BILL ME” option to avoid paying fees up-front. Bills will be reconciled after scholarships are awarded.
