AMTA is offering scholarships for professionals and students to assist in attending the 2015 national conference in Kansas City November 12-15. Submissions must be received by the national office by 6 pm EST on July 17. This is a great opportunity to expand your skills and knowledge and to network with music therapists and students from around the world.

 

The scholarships are:

 

Conference Scholar and AMTA Past Presidents’ Conference Scholar

 

Conference Scholar awards are designed to help support AMTA members cover the cost of attending the AMTA annual conference. Conference Scholar monies are donated by AMTA, while Past Presidents’ Conference Scholar monies are thanks to generous donations by former presidents of national music therapy organizations.
