Applicants should register for the conference using Regonline or by mail paying the registration fees. Awardees will be sent a check from CNCH, INC to reimburse for those fees once registration and guild membership is confirmed.
If the scholarship recipient is unable to attend CNCH 2012 Conference for any reason, the recipient needs to notify the CNCH committee as early as possible to be able to award the scholarship to another individual, if time allows.
