2025 AATH Scholarship Application

Take advantage of a chance to join us at the 2025 Annual Humor Conference and Humor Academy with the help of a scholarship! Thanks to our generous donors, AATH offers nine scholarships for this year’s event.

Scholarships are available for the AATH annual conference and, in some cases, Humor Academy registration costs.

You must apply for each scholarship individually. Each scholarship has specific guidelines, so please review the online descriptions carefully and address all criteria.

You may apply for up to three scholarships but, if chosen, may only receive one award. While preference is given to AATH members, many non-members have received scholarships.

Applications must be received by December 8, 2024.

Scholarship Guidelines

• Applicants must submit separate applications/essays for each scholarship according to the sponsor’s criteria.
• Applicants may apply for up to three scholarships. An applicant
  will be disqualified for submitting more than three essays.
• Additional application elements, such as a video, can be uploaded
  for consideration with the essay.
• There will be strict adherence to scholarship criteria set forth by
  the sponsor. The scholarship will not be awarded if no applicants
  meet the requirements.
• Individuals who received a scholarship in 2024 are not eligible
  again until 2026.

Disclaimer for ALL Scholarships:

If the scholarship committee determines that there are no suitable entries for a particular scholarship, it may choose not to award it. Scholarships are granted solely for the designated conference year and cannot be deferred to future conferences. Essay responses should be kept to 250 words or fewer unless specified otherwise.

Recipients will be notified by December 31, 2024. As this date is after the discounted registration deadline, all scholarship applicants will still be eligible to register at the reduced rate.

Please contact the AATH office at 815-708-6587 or info@aath.org with questions.
