Disability Travel Scholarship

Application Deadline: August 1

The Adaptive Sport and Physical Activity SIG is excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the Disability Travel Scholarship! The goal of this scholarship is to increase accessibility to the AASP Annual Conference for AASP members with disabilities. It is our hope that these funds can help alleviate some of the excessive financial burden that can come with travelling with a disability. The scholarship is a one-time scholarship of $500 (doubled from last year!). The scholarship will be given to a qualified candidate who will be attending the 2026 AASP Annual Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Qualified applicants are encouraged to apply by submitting their application to kmauldin@calbaptist.edu. The deadline for applications is August 1, 2026. 

New for 2026

Caregiver Travel Grants

for Conference Attendees

Attending conferences often requires individuals who need to travel with a caregiver to use additional financial resources for travel, lodging, caregiver fees, and related expenses, which can substantially increase their overall costs. The purpose of this grant is to help offset those additional costs so members with disabilities, chronic illness or other support needs can fully participate in the conference.

Conference attendees can apply for up to $1,000 annually. Funds are intended to support caregiver travel-related expenses, such as transportation and lodging. Please note that caregivers are not required to register for the conference to accompany the attendee. 

Funds may be used to offset caregiver travel expenses, including but not limited to:

• Airfare or ground transportation
• Lodging expenses
• Other travel-related costs necessary for the caregiver to accompany the attendee

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
