ATIA 2024 Conference Scholarship Program

The ATIA Scholarship Program awards scholarships annually to support a diverse pool of individuals with disabilities who are committed to advancing their knowledge, network, and personal development in assistive technology, and who would otherwise not be able to attend the conference due to a budget constraint or financial hardship.
