Scholarship Opportunities

The Network recognizes that accessing funds for professional development is a potential limitation for some women in the state who wish to attend this conference.  To help remedy this, the MI-ACE Women’s Network has created scholarship opportunities to provide funding to cover the cost of registration and one night hotel fee for the annual conference. 

Any woman working in a higher education institution in the state of Michigan, whose institution is an institutional member may apply for financial assistance if they receive no financial support from their institution.
