Scholarship Details
CPAT Symposium Registration Discount
A registration discount code will be offered to offset $75 of the $100 registration fee for those who receive advocate scholarships. Final cost of CPAT Symposium Registration with the scholarship is $25. If you are unable to attend the symposium, the registration fee is refundable.
Travel
Advocate scholarships are awarded as travel stipends based on distance from conference location:
- $200 for VA, MD, WV, or DE residents who live more than 60 miles from the Symposium location.
- $300 for residents of AL, CT, FL, GA, IN, MA, ME, MI, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, SC, TN, and VT.
- $400 for residents of AR, AZ, CO, IA, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MN, MO, MS, MT, ND, NE, NM, NV, OK, SD, TX, UT, WI, and WY.
- $500 for residents of AK, CA, HI, OR, and WA.
Note: Travel stipends have increased this year to cover the cost of purchasing tickets that are refundable. NCCS will not provide travel stipend reimbursement due to illness, changes in COVID-19 precautions, or unforeseen circumstances. Direct deposit and check reimbursement will only be provided to those in attendance at the symposium.
Hotel Accommodations
Advocate scholarships also include two nights of hotel accommodations (room+tax) – June 22 and June 23 at the Crowne Plaza Crystal City. You must live more than 60 miles from the conference location to be eligible for hotel accommodations. 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 Events section of the CPAT Members group page (request to join—if you are a CPAT member, you will be accepted). Once there, join 2022 CPAT Symposium to connect with other conference attendees and find a roommate.
