Funding Your Way

AMSA Can Help   Reach Out To Your School

We feel so strongly about getting you here to experience the exceptional programming and collaboration opportunities, that we've gone all out to provide a wide variety of ways to supplement the costs of attending AMSA's Annual Convention. Here's a few:

  • Remember to Register Early
    Register by our early-bird deadline of January 27 and save almost 20% on your registration fees.

  • Serve on a Nominations, Credentials or Reference Committee
    These committees ensure the smooth functioning of the HOD and national officer elections and are an excellent way for AMSA members to get involved nationally. Registration fees are waived for selected committee members. Application Deadline: January 18

 

All you need to do is ask. You may be able to have your registration fees fully or partially funded if you ask your school to support your participation at AMSA’s Annual Convention. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Some Schools Do Support Student Participation
    Every year AMSA members have been able to attain some financial support by asking their dean of student affairs or similar position.

  • Timing Is Key
    Plan to approach your dean soon before the end of year holidays!

  • Download A Sample Request
    To assist you in your effort, we’re providing a sample letter from Dr. Elizabeth Wiley, AMSA's 2012-2013 National President, that you can personalize to fit your needs.

  • Thank You Goes a Long Way
    Remember to thank your school after the event so they hear about the positive experience it was for you.
