Each year ASPA awards four $250 grants to enable outstanding students to attend the Annual Conference. Next year's conference will take place in Miami, Florida from March 20-24, 2009.

Each ASPA chapter is eligible to nominate one candidate. In the past, some chapters have been able to provide matching funds for students to attend the conference. Nominations must include the following:

• A letter from the chapter board and/or a faculty member explaining why the student merits the grant
• A letter from the student saying why he/she wants to go to the conference and what he/she hopes to get out of it
• The student's resume

Preference will be given to nominees who have served in a volunteer role within ASPA, have performed well in school, and have demonstrated an interest in pursuing a career in the practice or teaching of public administration. .
