TravCon's Scholarship Program
TravCon grants ten $1000 scholarships to
Healthcare Travelers every year
Who is it for?
Many of our attendees are working hard to advance their education through Bachelor & Master programs, and we want to help. We know education is expensive, yet it can be the difference between landing a job/contract or not.

Attend one TravCon
Attendance of at least one TravCon in the 3 years prior to submission (can include the current year)

How to Submit
Info that is to be included when you apply:

Why you should be considered for this scholarship? There are no specific elements that must be included. Some possibilities are a statement about how you support healthcare travelers or the wider community (helpful posts on social media, community volunteerism, mission trips, online history of participation in traveler focused groups, TravCon booster or PanTravelers member/supporter), personal financial need, difficult or complicated social or family considerations that would be eased by receiving this grant.
What year(s) you attended, and describe your experience for fellow travelers.
What are you planning to achieve? For example: “I hope to complete my BSN in 18 months and continue traveling” or “settle in the Midwest.”
How has traveling advanced your professional development? Help inspire others to take the courageous first steps toward a healthcare travel career.
Please provide proof of current enrollment and completion of most recent travel assignment (name of employer whom we can confirm with).
