Tips for Making the Conference Affordable Apply for funding from your college or university. The conference is primarily an educational event. Some schools offer financial support for attending educational events. Ask for support from your sponsoring chapter. Prepare a detailed proposal explaining what funding you are requesting and why.
Professional chapters are often willing to assist students with registration or travel costs.
Hold a chapter fundraising event. Focus on raising money to send the chapter's incoming president to the conference. Look for sponsorships. If you have contacts at local businesses in your community, they may be willing to help with your expenses. Share a room.
