Scholarships Available to Southeast TR Symposium

Wayne Pollock, CTRS, is the chair of the Southeast TR Symposium. He recently announced that the Southeast Therapeutic Recreation Symposium (STRS) still has scholarships available for this year's symposium. The symposium will be held July18-20, 2007, at Marriott Gwinnett Place, in Duluth, Georgia. I have attached the application and related information. The deadline for applications has been extended to April 6, 2007.

In addition to the student scholarships, STRS is pleased to again offer a scholarship for first-year practitioners.

The scholarships are intended to make the Symposium available to those students and first-year practitioners who 1.) have a need for financial assistance, and 2.) demonstrate potential to use the knowledge gained to enhance professional practice. The scholarships are "working" scholarships. Those who receive scholarships will assist with various aspects of administering the Symposium. STRS believes this experience will further enhance the student’s or the practitioner’s professional competencies. The scholarships will provide complimentary registration and housing, but will not cover meals (except any included in the registration) and transportation.

If you have questions about the STRS Scholarships please contact Cliff Burnham, Chair-Elect, STRS Board of Directors at the address listed below:
