The scholarships cover the registration fee for the Symposium. Under-represented minority and international students are strongly encouraged to apply. 

Scholarships are provided by private donors, by Venture Publishing (www.venturepublish.com), and through donations from participants in the NERR Raffle.  We appreciate their generosity to our young scholars.
