[NABS-L] Midwest Student Seminar

[Kathryn Webster | National Student President]

Dear Anna,

Thank you for your message! The initial email message had some
misinformation presented. Registration is $70, inclusive of meals for
breakfast, lunch, and dinner Saturday, as well as breakfast on Sunday.

The seminar is hosted by NABS and the Illinois affiliate. We are happen to
help students financially on a case-by-case basis. 

Finally, we have been working closely with state agencies to ensure they
received information ahead of time and can understand the need for such an
event.

I am more than happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Thanks and love,
Kathryn

Thanks for this info. It looks like a good opportunity. 
However, this is super confusing as to who is doing the seminar and how much
it costs. Different things have been sent to different places with differing
information. 

Additionally, the cost of registration is high and cost of seminar will be
prohibitive to a number of students that I could send. Trying to get help
from VR agencies, even if possible, will be virtually impossible by February
15 for a number of them as well. 
What scholarships are offered; and how to extend the deadline as it is less
than two weeks away?

Thanks,
Anna
