The 2026 SATB2 Family Conference Travel Grant Application
We acknowledge that attending the 2026 SATB2 Family & Medical Conference may pose a financial challenge for some families. To alleviate this burden, we are pleased to announce that our sponsor, Dignity Memorial, has designated funds to assist with the expenses associated with in-person attendance. Priority will be given to those with demonstrated financial need and to first-time attendees. Please review the application terms thoroughly and provide detailed information for consideration.
APPLICATION TERMS
1. Assistance will only be provided to families with dependents with a confirmed SATB2-Associated Syndrome diagnosis by a medical professional; documentation/verification will be required no later than 5:00 PM EST, April 3, 2026, for an application to be considered. Confirmation-of-diagnosis options are provided in this application.
2. The Conference Travel Grant will cover up to $500 USD per application. If your application is approved, funds will be distributed via PayPal post-travel. If you do not already have a PayPal account, please sign up today to help expedite the process: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/account-selection. Funds can only be provided in US dollars.
3. The review committee will prioritize applicants demonstrating financial needs and first-time attendees. We understand the impact attending in person can make on a family and want to make that opportunity accessible.
