Our application period for the “First-Timer” Scholarship which will cover the cost of the full Convention registration, Thursday-Saturday, and one year of membership in NYSCSS has closed. Look for our announcement for the 2027 Convention by January 2027. A selection committee reviews all applications and select the scholarship recipient based on this criteria.
