Each year, the AFA Foundation provides a series of scholarships to attend the AFA Annual Meeting provided by the support of our donors. Scholarship applications are reviewed through the lens of need, prioritizing those who are unlikely to be able to attend the Annual Meeting without scholarship support.
For the 2026 Annual Meeting, scholarship applications will open in May 2026, and are expected to be awarded in August 2026.
*Scholarships identified as ‘unawarded’ are often offered to multiple candidates, but ultimately are not able to be accepted by awardees.
