Financial Assistance Available To Attend Trainings

Later in the year, Western Regional CAC will offer scholarships to attend professional trainings and conferences other than those conducted by WRCAC.  In the meantime, or in addition, consider applying for one of these scholarships:

The Office for Victims of Crime offers professional development scholarships to those who work with victims of crime. Scholarships can be applied toward the expenses for travel and per diem and for training fees or tuition. For more information and to apply for a scholarship, visit the OVC TTAC Web site. (OVC) For example, you would like to send a team member to the NCA Leadership Conference, the Dallas Crimes Against Children Conference, or any other professional conference.  You could apply to WRCAC for up to $1000 toward travel and transportation and up to another $1000 from Office of Victim of Crime to pay for registration and additional travel and transportation costs.  Both are competitive grants, but come up with a compelling case and you could have the funds you need.  OVC also has grants for up to $5000 per training for multidisciplinary teams.
