Student Track Sponsor Benefits
HACU's 27th Annual Conference
October 26-28, 2013
Hilton Chicago
Chicago, IL
The HACU Student Track receives national applications from undergraduate students seeking conference scholarships to attend HACU’s 26th Annual Conference. For the sponsoring organization, HACU’s scholarship review committee will identify and select the number of students you wish to sponsor based on eligibility criteria such as: academic major, student classification, and geographic location (local, regional or national) scholars. All eligibility criteria requests must be submitted to HACU by August 2, 2013. As a Student Track Scholar sponsor, the following benefits are available:
- Scholars will be selected on the basis of specific criteria requested by the sponsoring organization
- Selected scholars are identified with the sponsoring organizations’ name on the students’ name badge
- For regional and national sponsored scholars, HACU manages logistical arrangements such as travel, lodging and conference registrations
- Selected scholars are invited to sit in reserved seating with representatives from the sponsoring organization during the Annual Conference Power and Partnership Luncheons
- Sponsoring organization can interact with selected scholars to discuss recruitment and employment opportunities
- Selected scholars can help strengthen relationships at institutions they represent for future recruitment and outreach initiatives
Sponsoring a Student Track Scholar covers the cost of the student's registration, hotel, airfare (if applicable), and one meal per day. The cost for sponsoring Student Track Scholars is as follows:
- $400 for a local student (students living in the same city as the Conference site. The student commutes to the Conference site daily.)
- $1,000 for a regional student (students from an adjoining or nearby state or city)
- $1,200 for a national student (students from across the country)
