Once again, ECWCA is able to offer five $200.00 travel awards. These funds are available for individual tutors or groups from the same institution who will be attending the 2018 ECWCA Conference in Columbus, Ohio. (While directors are not eligible for travel awards, groups can include a director if, for example, that person is driving a group of tutors to the conference and will not receive reimbursement. In such a case, the funds could be used to pay for gasoline.) The organization privileges applications by tutors who are presenting at the conference and from institutions that have previously not been represented at the conference or have not attended in three or more years.
Please do not apply if your institution is covering your costs for the conference or if you plan to attend only one day of the conference. Travel funds will be awarded at the conference luncheon (on Saturday) and will not be dispersed if the awardee does not attend.
Please submit your request by answering the following questions by February 26, 2018. If you have further questions about this process, please email the board at
