*Scholarships may be given by either donating directly to the conference planning committee for their distribution to students in need or by the donor offering sponsorships at their own discretion and by their own means.

Partnerships

Recognizing the importance of the work of non – profit organizations and student groups, we are determined to be as inclusive as possible in the planning of this historic conference. 

As a partner, your organization is showing their official endorsement of the conference and its goals.  Partners agree to promote the conference to their constituency and relate why the conference is important to your organization. 

Partners will be recognized officially as a leading organizer of the conference in all publications and promotional materials for the conference.

While there is not necessarily a monetary fee to become a partner, partners will be expected to contribute to the planning of the conference by actively participating in working groups, fundraising, recruitment and outreach, staffing, and volunteering.

Exhibitors

Throughout the conference, space has been arranged at the entrance of the main conference hall for interested participants to exhibit their services, ideas, and products to conference attendees. 

Purchasing exhibitor space through the conference is a sure way to reach a young, activist audience of over 1,000 individuals. 

Exhibitors are encouraged to provide information on their organization, free hand outs and raffles, and advertise.
