Student Financial Aid
Programs that provide financial assistance for individuals who want to participate in a conference or short-term educational program; a forum, focus group, committee/task force meeting, or hearing; a rally, march or other political demonstration; or other similar activity. Funds can be used for travel expenses, registration fees, hotel expenses and per diem costs, and recipients may be asked to share what they learned with others who need information on the topic. Programs may target individuals with disabilities and advocates in the field (immediate family members or guardians), students, homeless people or other populations.
Programs that provide or assist students to apply for awards which usually involve money and/or reduced tuition. Included are both needs-based scholarships which are awarded to outstanding students who are in financial need and honorary scholarships which are awarded on the basis of merit alone and normally carry a nominal monetary award. Scholarship funds come from many sources including private endowments, alumni contributions, college or university funds, individual departments or outside organizations.
