The CUPA Forum Board (CFB) has been recipient to money designated for training or specifically for the annual CUPA Conference from a variety of enforcement cases. In most situations, court settlements specify conditions for the allocation of funds for training/conference costs and the CFB is restricted from distributions outside of the court's direction. A majority of the funds are allocated for use by Unified Program Agencies and are intended to train technical staff or assist in funding travel and expenses at the annual CUPA Conference.
Scholarship applications were due on or before October 13, 2023 with Manager approval. The 2023 scholarship application process for the CUPA-2024 conference in now closed. For those who did submit their scholarship application, the next steps in the process are for your CUPA Manager to approve your application. After that, it is sent to the CUPA Conference Team for a Final Review. Once this is completed, your application will be approved or in rare cases declined. Finally, to the complete the process, you must click on the green button in your Member Dashboard and "Accept your scholarship to become registered". That completes the conference registration process. Lastly, make sure you obtained lodging by going to the Conference Venue information page and booking your lodging reservation (if you are staying overnight per your scholarship application).
