Financial Assistance
We value all environmental educators and encourage individuals who need financial assistance in order to participate in AEOE activities to apply for a scholarship. Scholarships are offered through the Joie’s Daisies Scholarship Fund (in memory of Joie Armstrong) for conferences. Also consider volunteering or presenting a workshop at the conference to reduce your conference fees. (Donations to the Joie’s Daisies Scholarship Fund are always welcome!)
