Parent Scholarship 

$100 Conference Registration Opportunity

Individuals with disabilities face many transitions throughout their lives: changing teachers, grades, schools, etc.. One of the most pivotal transitions is that of “school life” to “work/community life”. 

Every transition that a child will experience requires preparation, resources and information so that the transitions are more easily navigated. MTSA wants to enable Parents (of a child with a disability) to attend Michigan’s Premier conference about everything related to transition for children with disabilities: the MTSA Conference in 2021.* 

*Lodging and travel accommodations are the responsibility of scholarship recipients.

Conference Sponsorship

So All Can Attend

We see many challenges our members face. This initiative helps us ensure that our members are better prepared to manage the unique challenges they find themselves in. This is why we offer sponsorships to attend the annual MTSA conference. We offer two sponsorships per region ( total of 10), one educator and one non-educator.

Timeline change:  With no board meeting in December, decisions and notice of awards will be completed in January 2021
