Travel Grants 

We understand that traveling, especially with a family, can be quite expensive. To assist those who want to attend the conference in-person, each individual/family/group is eligible to receive a travel grant from the BSA for up to three nights of one double room accommodation at the conference hotel, subject to the availability of funds.

If you would like request a travel grant, you may indicate this on your conference registration form.
