The stipend will reimburse up to $750 for conference and travel-related expenses, including the registration fee, lodging, and transportation. Applications will be reviewed on a monthly basis, with deadlines March 15 and April 15.

 

The conference will be held at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Lake Buena Vista Resort, an all-suite hotel featuring family-friendly amenities such as a splash park, evening dive-in movies, a putting green, and more. Guests can also enjoy free cooked-to-order breakfast, a nightly reception, free WiFi, and a Disney theme park shuttle. The NVFC has negotiated a room rate of $149 for conference attendees.
