2023 Travelers Aid International Annual Conference
Barrington Scholarship Application
We are pleased to offer Barrington Scholarships for the 2023 Travelers Aid International Conference, set for September 27-29 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These scholarships are made possibly by a generous bequest from Aldene Barrington in 2006 that allows TAI to financially assist member agencies in sending a representative to the annual conference, an individual who otherwise might not be able to attend.
Scholarships are available on a first-come, first-served basis until the annual allotment has been filled.
How it Works
Interested candidates will submit the completed application form online and can expect to receive a response in 3-5 days. When making a submission, please describe your interest in attending the TAI conference and why you believe you would benefit from participating.
Please note: Applicants should inform their supervisor and/or agency contact of their interest before applying, as each agency will receive a maximum of two scholarships in any given calendar year.
