Pac Rim 2025

Scholarship Opportunties

Pac Rim Scholarship Opportunities

Attending the Pacific Rim Conference can be an important part of your professional growth. It offers opportunities to participate in a global professional learning community and grow your international professional network. The Pacific Rim 2025 team is committed to making the conference as accessible as possible. We recognize that financial concerns can be a significant consideration for many attendees.

Scholarship Eligibility

With this in mind, the Center on Disability Studies has dedicated limited funding to provide financial need-based scholarships to help make this singular global event as accessible as possible. We want to support attendance at the conference for young professional/ early professionals, attendees with disabilities, self-advocates, students, family members or support persons of people with disabilities, and others who wish to attend the conference.

International scholarship applicants who may need a visa to enter the U.S. are responsible for their own visa arrangements. The Pacific Rim Scholarship Committee will not be able to support visas or visa applications.

Details

Scholarship recipients receive complimentary conference registration and are responsible for all of their own associated travel and accommodation costs.
