January 23-25, 2017
New Orleans, Louisiana

Conference Travel Scholarships Available!
The Stalking Resource Center is extremely pleased to announce that our grant from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) includes funding to support five (5) $1,000 travel scholarships to attend our Train-the-Trainer Conference January 23-25, 2017 in New Orleans, LA.

 
About the Conference
This three-day training will address the principles of adult learning theory, development of successful trainings, assessment of training, and how to respond to training challenges. With the help of subject-matter experts, participants will then develop their own stalking training materials and present to the group.

Based on the specific grant objectives for this OVW-funded project, participants must currently provide training to professionals working with stalking victims and offenders. This Train-the-Trainer is not intended for those providing general awareness, community education, or school-based programming on stalking.
About the Scholarship
Individuals from underserved populations face formidable barriers to accessing crime victim services such as culturally competent advocacy, language access, and comprehensive legal services, making it essential for organizations who work with these populations to be trained on how to address stalking. In order to increase the capacity of trainers who work with marginalized or underserved communities, we are giving scholarship preference to professionals who work with marginalized and underserved communities, including, but not limited to: African-American, Latin@, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Asian/Pacific Islander populations; persons with disabilities; Deaf/Hard of Hearing persons; LGBTQ persons; and immigrants and refugees.

Because there are no fees for attending the conference, the $1,000 travel stipend can be used for lodging, transportation, and meal per diem. Scholarship recipients must pay up-front for their travel expenses, but will be reimbursed up to $1,000 following the conference. Recipients MUST be able to cover any remaining travel expenses. If you are an OVW grantee, you can check with your grant monitor to see if grant funds can be used to cover any remaining travel expenses.

Scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis. Please complete this survey by Thursday, December 8 at 11:59p.m. When you submit an application, you will receive an email message confirming the receipt of your application. If you have not received this confirmation email within three (3) business days, please email src@ncvc.org. Applicants will be notified of the decision by Monday, December 12.
