NAI National Conference Scholarship Available

Thanks to a generous donation, plus our regional fundraising, the Sierra Pacific community Board is able to offer a $1,500 scholarship to attend this year’s NAI National Conference in Virginia Beach, VA (Nov 11-15, 2025).  We’re also offering regional scholarships for our final training workshop event. 

Hurry! The deadline for scholarship applications is October 1, 2025, just a few weeks from now. 

Special thanks to long-time interpreter Phil Sexton for his extra support for our National Conference scholarship program. He writes: I have had an amazing career for over 35 years now, working in the interpretive profession. There have been many things connected with NAI and its membership that have been instrumental in giving me the capability of doing this. 

If you are a college student or emerging professional with passion, drive, and interest, who would benefit from attending this year’s conference, we encourage you to apply! Attending a National Conference is a great way to expand your network, learn from nationally recognized presenters, and gain insight into some of the newest trends and applications in interpretation. 

If you are encouraged by Phil’s gift and would like to make a donation of your own to Sierra Pacific scholarships, we welcome your support for our members.
