uroLogic Conference Registration Scholarships
The SUNA Foundation provides expenses up to a maximum of $1,500 for the annual uroLogic Conference, which will be reimbursed after submission accompanied by original receipts for registration, travel, hotel, and meals. Any unused funds are non-transferable.
Note: All applications will be blinded by the Foundation Chairperson, with identifying information removed, before being sent to the Trustees for review. Important components of the application are current work experience and contributions to SUNA. For applicants who do not have a local SUNA chapter in their area, the applicant may expand on current work experience and describe how the material from the conference will be used to mentor others in their work setting and note the lack of a local chapter on the application. A statement about how the material will be utilized after the conference is very important in the application review process.
