ISM Fellowships Now Available!
Submission Deadline: Thursday, June 22
The ISM Fellowship application is now open for the state, county, and municipal government human services agencies to apply for travel assistance to attend the ISM + PHSA Conference & Expo. These fellowships are intended for agencies that have very limited travel budgets.
Priority is given to states, counties, and municipal human services agencies that are dues-paying members of APHSA for the CIO, CTO, and other programmatic directors to attend the conference.
Fellowship awards can cover registration and up to three (3) hotel nights at the conference hotel. There is a $500 stipend available to assist with airfare and/or train tickets, should an agency need that additional assistance.
Note: Not all applicants can receive a fellowship, so agencies are encouraged to coordinate their applications. This allows APHSA to accommodate as many fellowships as possible with our budget.
