Convention Assistance Request Form

All applications must be submitted by March 11,2025 at 5:00pm. Applicants will be notified by March 16 of the committee’s decision.  Applicants should make hotel reservations but should NOT register for the convention until after they are notified of the results of their application.

Rittgers Stipends are based on financial need and, therefore, those applying for funding should lay out their needs so that the Rittgers committee can get a picture of your situation so we can make the most informed decision. Applications are kept strictly confidential and are shared only on an absolute need to know basis.  Also, keep in mind that funding is very limited and will only cover a part of your expenses but the hope is that it will be enough to make the difference on applicants ability to attend the state convention. Please read the bylaws below that govern Rittgers Funding.
