Peg Connolly Scholarship Reminder

Peg Connolly Scholarship


The American Therapeutic Recreation Association is excited to provide the opportunity for ATRA Student members to receive the Peg Connolly Scholarship. Named in honor of Dr. Peg Connolly, the first ATRA president and former Executive Director of the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification, this program provides tremendous personal and professional benefits and rewards. Not only do students gain professional knowledge from sessions, students have the opportunity to network with professionals from around the country. ATRA believes the future of our field depends on the continuing growth of students. Today, many former scholarship recipients prove this belief by serving vital roles within our profession.

Basic Info: Eight stipends are available to attend ATRA’s Annual Conference, including conference registration, accommodations, and a meal stipend ($100). Students are responsible for transportation to/from the conference. This scholarship is a “working scholarship”. Students assist in various aspects of implementing the conference such as room hosting, registration and monitoring social events. This scholarship is available to undergraduate and graduate members of ATRA who will be enrolled in a therapeutic recreation program during the conference year. You must be able to attend a mandatory training on September 28, 2013 as well as the ATRA Annual Conference from September 29-October 2, 2013 (please note that these dates include pre-con sessions). Applications are due April 5, 2013.
