In recognition that professional development budgets may be tight, we have a limited number of scholarships available for our Western Regional Planned Giving Conference, to be held at the Westin South Coast Plaza, May 16-18, 2023.
It's never too early to apply! The conference scholarship applications will be accepted and considered by the committee through Monday, March 13, 2023. Note that scholarships are for conference registration only, not hotel or travel expenses to attend. Recipients will be notified no later than March 24, 2023, for payment or reimbursement.
Only one individual from an organization may be awarded a scholarship.
The applicant may not have been a previous recipient of a LACGP scholarship.
