Convention Student Assistantship Application
Highest degree earned so far:
Thank you for your interest in the Student Assistantship Program. This program is dedicated to helping graduate students currently enrolled in counseling programs develop leadership skills related to the profession. One half of your time will be involved in working at various convention events and “shadowing” NYMHCA leaders; the other half will be attending selected programs. If selected, NYMHCA will waive your full registration fee, and waive fess associated with convention events. As an additional bonus, you will receive two nights of “shared rooms” at no cost. Two students will share a room and room service and other additional charges must be paid for by the student.
Four (4) student assistantships will be awarded. The application is due by February 20th, 2014, and assistantship recipients will be notified by March 1st. Recipients must officially register for the convention by March 7th (and note “assistantship recipient”) next to your name or the assistantship will be awarded to another applicant. (If you are already registered, then your registration fee will be returned to you.) If chosen, you will be expected to arrive no later than Friday, April 11th, 2014 by 11:00 a.m.
