Hotel Accommodations

Advocate scholarships also include two nights of hotel accommodations ($289 per night + tax) – June 21 and June 22 at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.

You must live more than 60 miles from the conference location to be eligible for hotel accommodation scholarship. You are responsible for any charges to the room and if damages occur. NCCS will pay the hotel directly for your room.

NCCS will add $100 to the travel stipend for each attendee who chooses to share a room. We ask that you identify a roommate with whom you would like to share. You can search for a roommate on our CPAT Members Facebook group. Please visit the CPAT Members group page (request to join—if you are a CPAT member, you will be accepted).
