About the Travel Awards

The Visual Resources Association offers several awards to assist member attendance at the VRA Annual Conference. Please see Travel Awards News posts above for the latest information about current award offerings and rules.

Selection of recipients is determined by the Travel Awards Committee. The goal of the Travel Awards Program is to encourage and support conference attendance by both new members/conference attendees and veteran members/attendees. The Travel Awards Committee especially encourages applications from new members/first time conference attendees, veteran members who have not had funds to attend conferences, international members, solo, isolated, and part-time VR professionals, students considering careers in visual resources, and any member actively participating in the conference who lacks sufficient funding to attend. Awards are funded through fundraising events, VRA member donations, corporate sponsors, and other VRA funds.
