Conference Scholarship Application
Our scholarships are supported by the Dorothy Geis Scholarship Program. One of the earliest and longest MCDES Board members, and a U of MN Professor of Nursing, Dorothy was selected to start a groundbreaking program to help children with incurable cancer die peacefully at home. Dorothy volunteered for decades, helping people who were dying of cancer. She died in 2020.
Scholarships are approved at the discretion of the MCDES Board, and are limited to a lifetime total of two per person. A scholarship brings the conference fee down to $25 per recipient. Scholarship recipients also receive a one-year MCDES membership which includes a subscription to the quarterly e-newsletter, and discounts on future conferences while your membership is active.
