Education > Scholarships
WBTA supports the pursuit of professional development through the NBTA's education programs and certifications. Due to our affiliation with NBTA, the NBTA Foundation and the NBTA Chapter President’s Council, we are able to offer educational scholarships for a variety of programs in addition to our local WBTA scholarships.
Each year NBTA and WBTA award a variety of scholarships for NBTA certifications and general education. In addition, WBTA supports its members with NBTA Convention financial assistance (up to $250 each) for those who attend the convention!
