Guided by an all-Native planning group, portions of this wide-ranging, week-long meeting are designed to meet the needs of Native professionals, community activists and students. The Native-focused parts of the conference program include papers, posters, sharing circles, a Native Film Night, and other events, as well as great informal networking opportunities. To help Indigenous people take part, the George Wright Society offers two travel scholarship
programs:

Full-time Native students at an institute of higher education (including 2-year tribal colleges) can apply for a George Melendez Wright Student Travel Scholarship. Go to http://www.georgewright.org/gws2013_gmwsts for details.

Indigenous people who are not full-time students can apply for a Native Participant Travel Grant. Complete information is at http://www.georgewright.org/gws2013_nptg.

Indigenous people from anywhere in North America (Canada, Mexico, and USA) are eligible to apply. Applications are due by December 1. You must apply on-line; the application forms can be accessed through the links above.

GWS2013 is a wonderful opportunity to meet with Native and non-Native colleagues and exchange ideas in a supportive, collegial atmosphere.

If you have any questions about the scholarship programs, please contact Dave Harmon, GWS Executive Director, at dharmon@georgewright.org or 1-906-487-9722. Thank you
