NAWM will also be announcing its fourth annual Jon A. Kusler Student Scholarship Award competition on August 12.

More details will be forthcoming with the announcement in August.
State/Tribal Scholarship is Now Open
A limited number of scholarships are available to U.S. state and Tribal agency staff to assist those in need to cover travel, lodging and/or registration costs to attend NAWM's Annual State/Tribal/Federal Coordination Meeting. Our intent is to support as many people as possible with the limited amount of funding that we have. If you are able to cover some of your expenses, that will enable more of our colleagues to attend.
Scholarships may be provided to those who are eligible for up to a maximum of $1,000 in expenses. Please note that scholarships are provided as reimbursements for expenses paid - receipts are required for reimbursement. Registration expenses will be waived (versus reimbursed) and will be considered as part of the total scholarship expense amount approved.
Scholarship decisions will be made on a rolling basis until all available funds have been used. Deadline to apply is Friday, January 31, 2025.
Lodging Information coming soon.
