TFLA understands that economic circumstances are obstacles that prevent a talented presenter from attending and presenting at conferences; therefore, TFLA has created this scholarship to assist the scholarship applicant with the costs of travel and lodging involved. In addition, TFLA will waive the registration fees for the conference for the scholarship applicant. By doing so, TFLA hopes that we will see new, talented presenters that will contribute to the high quality professional development experience of our conference. Due: June, 1.
