Registration & Scholarships

Registration

The AFI 2010 Conference and Learning Academies is an exciting series of asset-building events from July 27-30, 2010. We encourage participants to attend as many events as possible. Before registering, please review the draft agenda and have in mind which events you plan to attend.

Changing or Cancelling Your Registration

Registrants wishing to change or cancel their event registration should contact the AFI Resource Center at 1-866-778-6037 or info@idaresources.org. Reference the AFI 2010 Conference and Learning Academies to have your inquiry routed to the appropriate team member.

Please note the following:

• Learning academies are intensive workshops and participants are expected to attend the academy they selected. If you wish to change your academy selection by either choosing a different academy or cancelling attendance at the academy you have selected, simply contact the AFI Resource Center at info@idaresources.org or 1-866-778-6037.
• Canceling your registration for AFI 2010 does not cancel sleeping room reservations that you made with the Capital Hilton or other hotel. Be sure to cancel room reservations that you do not plan to use, because you may be penalized by your hotel for any room reservations not used.

AFI Training Scholarships

The AFI Resource Center is pleased to make scholarship funds available to help offset the costs of attending this series of events. Scholarships are available for:

• Up to $500 per individual for attendance at the two-day AFI 2010 All Grantee Conference or a two day academy event.
• Up to $750 per individual for attendance at the two-day AFI 2010 All Grantee Conference, plus a one-or two day academy event.

The AFI Resource Center is now able to award more scholarships to organizations that would like to send several staff to AFI 2010. Amounts per organization can now exceed the previous limits of $1,500 per single agency grantee and $2,000 per network grantee.

Scholarship Payments

Approved scholarship amounts will be paid by check after the AFI 2010 Conference and Learning Academies to the payee organization that you identify below. Attendees that have requested scholarships — and received approval — will be asked to sign a certification of attendance at or after the event, which will provide the necessary documenation to release payment.

Scholarship Approval

Requests for scholarship funds are not automatically granted. AFI Resource Center will review your scholarship request and respond to you by email within three business days as to the status of your request. Registrants are advised to avoid making non-refundable travel arrangements prior to receiving scholarship approval.
