Description
The Jim Rhatigan Fellowship Scholarship is offered by the NASPA Foundation to help graduate students defray the cost of attending the NASPA Annual Conference and a pre-conference event. Made possible through donations to the Foundation, the scholarship supports the future of the student affairs profession by enabling students to participate in the association’s annual professional development gathering.
For 2027, recipients receive registration for the Annual Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, plus registration for one pre-conference event or affiliated conference or institute of their choice. Recipients also receive recognition during the Annual Conference. This is conference participation support rather than funding for a research study or separate project.
