Collegiate Conference Scholarship
The Virginia String Teachers Association offers scholarships for collegiate students to attend the ASTA National Conference each year. The deadline to apply for funding to travel to the national ASTA conference from the Student Chapter Conference Fund (SCCF) is December 15. $500 will be made available to accepted student chapter(s) that apply to use toward travel or accommodation costs. Attendance by either the chapter President or other officers of the student chapter board (or shared use by all board members) is encouraged.
For further information, email the President-Elect.
