Travel Grants
We’re sorry, but the Travel Grant program has received more applications than we can fund this year and is temporarily closed. If we secure more funding, we will reopen them and notify the YSC community.
YSC’s Travel Grant program helps decrease the financial burden of travel, making quality education and support at the YSC Summit available to all who need it.
Travel Grants are needs-based and distributed based on the requirements below on a first-come, first-served basis. While YSC works with donors and sponsors to fund all attendees who demonstrate need, once funds are depleted, the application process is closed.
Helpful Tips
The total amount of travel grant reimbursement may not exceed $800 USD for those living in the U.S., Canada and Mexico and $1200 USD for all other international applicants. As noted below, you will receive a separate registration fee waiver code, which has a value of $180 USD.
Eligible travel grant items may include:
The following items are not covered:
*Example: A domestic applicant is awarded $800. The hotel room rate for the YSC Summit is $199/night + $25 resort fee for Friday March 15 and Saturday March 16 and $159/night + $25 resort fee for all other nights booked between March 13-18, 2024. If you book a single room for 2 nights at the The Virgin Hotel Las Vegas for 2 nights ($398 + $50 + tax= $507.94), you will have $292.00 remaining towards your travel expenses; if you share a room, you would pay $253.97 (including tax) for a 2 night stay and would have $546 to use towards travel costs.
When applying for a travel grant, please take into consideration your financial need and your commitment to attending the YSC Summit. YSC is dedicated to using these funds to help as many attendees as possible, and cancellations impact our ability to do so.
