About NORC Scholarships
The Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals (SORP) fosters the next generation of outdoor recreation professionals by providing conference scholarships. The conference is an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest outdoor recreation research and practices and to network with other attendees.
SORP provides two types of scholarship opportunities:
- Student Scholarship: Full conference registration and a 1-year membership to SORP
- New Professional Scholarship: Full conference registration and a $750 stipend for travel/lodging expenses
There is no age limit for either scholarship opportunity. SORP is committed to a collective strength and encourages a wide array of applicants to apply. The Scholarship Work Group is seeking applicants whose studies and goals align with the SORP values as well as the conference theme and how their connection to outdoor recreation can serve as a catalyst for restoration and revitalization.
