2008 SRTS Scholarship

The Southeast Recreational Therapy Symposium (SRTS), Inc. is excited to offer a scholarship for the Southeast Recreatonal Therapy Symposium to be held July 16-18, 2008 in Gatlinburg, TN. The theme for this year's SRTS is "New Vision for Recreational Therapy Service Delivery".  In addition to the student scholarship, SRTS is pleased to again offer a scholarship for first-year practitioners.

The scholarship is intended to make the Symposium available to those students and first year practitioners who...
1) have a need for financial assistance, and
2) demonstrate potential to use the knowledge gained to enhance professional practice.

The scholarships are "working" scholarships. Those who receive scholarships will assist with various aspects of administering the Symposium. SRTS believes this experience will further enhance the student’s or practitioner’s professional competencies. The scholarship will provide a complimentary registration and housing, but will not cover meals (except any included in the registration) and transportation.

Here is a link to the 2008 SRTS Scholarship Application. Please distribute this information to those who may be interested and may benefit from this opportunity. The deadline for applications is April 18, 2008. Those selected for the scholarships will be notified by May 9, 2008.
