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 $50 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. Scholarship applications will be reviewed on a first come, first serve basis after official registration has opened for the conference. Up to 5 scholarships will be awarded each conference.
To apply, complete and submit the form below as completely as you are able. Incomplete applications or applications missing significant data will not be considered until corrected. You will be notified by email as soon as a decision is made. You will be issued a direct link for registration if you are approved.
Applications for the Fall 2024 Conference will open July 15th. Scholarship applications need to be received before August 28th. Award announcements will be made the first week of September. If you have questions, please email [email protected].
Many thanks to those who continue to add their support to our Scholarship Program.
