In support of participation at the National ADA Symposium (www.adasymposium.org) the Great Lakes ADA and Accessible IT Center is making a limited number of $600.00 scholarships available to assist with offsetting the cost of attendance. Applications will only be accepted from individuals who reside in the Great Lakes Region (IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI).
The scholarship will pay the Symposium registration fee plus the optional pre-conference and apply the remaining funds toward the cost of airfare, hotel or food. Awarding of the scholarships will be based on need and distributed on a first come first serve basis. Governmental entities are not eligible to apply for the scholarships.
We will accept applications through March 1, 2006 but cannot guarantee that all applications will be awarded the scholarship. Notification will be made no later than March 15, 2006 to enable finalization of travel plans.
If you are planning to attend the Symposium we would recommend that you make your hotel reservations early, they can be cancelled if you are unable to attend. This is especially important because of several other major events are happening at the same time.
Applications for the scholarships can be obtained from and also completed on-line at www.adagreatlakes.org. Individuals may contact the Center to receive a paper copy of the application and fax it back to our office at 312-413-1856. Additional information regarding the Scholarship or the Symposium can be found on the Great Lakes website or by contacting the Center at 800-949-4232 (Voice/TTY.)
