                            SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
Eligibility: Please review the Process for Awarding Conference Scholarships. This detailed description of Section policy
is available on the Conference's main webpage. The Section strongly encourages legal services, public interest,
community or government agency personnel, attorney solo practitioners and persons from traditionally underrepresented
groups to apply.

Scholarship Procedure: Complete the application form below and a conference registration form and submit both to the
Section of Dispute Resolution via fax: (202) 662-1683, or post: 740 15th St. NW, Washington, DC 20005 or by e-mail:
beregova@staff.abanet.org. Applications must be received by February 4, 2008. The scholarship committee will review
applications and applicants will be notified by email on February 14, 2008. The Section offers full and partial scholarship
opportunities and a volunteer option for participants to attend the conference at a reduced rate. We are unable to offer
scholarships to applicants who have already registered for this conference. Incomplete application or registration forms
will be returned to you and will not be considered for a scholarship. Applicants who do not receive a scholarship but
wish to attend the conference must still submit a regular registration form with payment.

Full Scholarship: The scholarship includes the early bird registration fee for the 10th Annual ABA Section of Dispute
Resolution Conference, Pacific Currents. The scholarship does not cover travel costs, lodging, Section membership or
ticketed events. Priority will be given to those outside of the Seattle area for these scholarships.

Volunteer Opportunity: The Pacific Currents conference is being presented in partnership with the Northwest Dispute
Resolution Conference. Up to 24 volunteers will receive free admission to the conference (excluding ticketed events),
and in exchange will be expected to commit to serving at least two days of the conference--April 3-5, 2008. Organizers
will make every effort to take preferences into account when assigning volunteers to monitor specific conference sessions,
so that volunteers can attend sessions they are most interested in. Priority will be given to previous attendees of the
Northwest Dispute Resolution Conference in selection of volunteers. A mandatory one-hour volunteer orientation will be
held on the afternoon of Wed. April 2nd, at the Sheraton Hotel.

Partial Scholarship: The Section will also award a limited amount of partial scholarships to previous attendees of the
Northwest DR Conference to cover the difference between the registration fee for that conference and ABA-DR Section
Member Early Bird registration fee. The scholarship amount of $200 will be towards your early bird registration.

Source of Scholarship Support: The Scholarships are made possible by the American Bar Association Section of
Dispute Resolution and additional donors. Please see the onsite conference book for a full list of scholarship donors.
