Hi Crista!!  I answered your questions several month ago by adding an article to the NYA Community page, which I copied you on!  You can view the article here: http://www.wearehd.org/nya/articles/413

The kick off for the 2008 NYA Convention scholarships will be sometime the beginning of next year.  Only HDSA official members of the NYA can apply and, if they qualify, be awarded a scholarship.  So, in short, you could only get one scholarship Crista.  However if it's a full scholarship, it would pay for your room that you could have your parents or anyone else you wanted share with you.  It would also cover your travel to and from Phoenix and some miscellenous expenses.  If your parents are looking for support to attend the convention, they should check with the Michigan HDSA Chapter to see if they will have any 2009 convention scholarship money that they might qualify for.

I hope this helps Crista!  Can't wait to see you again in Phoenix!

Love,

Jean

Hey Jean.. I figured I'd tell you the good news.
At the Connecticut Walk last weekend we gained 11 NYA members and through my HD Facebook Group I think we'll be gaining another 5 or so. :)
Hope all is well.
