Scholarships for NADD Conferences
The Scholarship Funds enable NADD to financially assist individuals who provide care to persons who have a dual diagnosis to attend and participate in NADD conferences and trainings.
The Family Issues Scholarship Fund financially assists family members of loved ones diagnosed with a dual diagnosis to attend and participate in NADD conferences where they can participate in the conference, and engage with other families and experts in the field.
The Joli Fletcher Tlalka Scholarship Fund, named in memory of the daughter of NADD’s Founder, Robert J. Fletcher, who herself was a DSP supporting individuals with a dual diagnosis. This fund financially assists Direct Support Professionals to attend and participate in NADD conferences where innovative information is available to assist them in providing care to individuals who have a dual diagnosis.
