“Going to the APA Annual Conference was amazing and I learned much from the presentations. It would not have been possible for me to attend without the APF Beth Rom-Rymer Travel Scholarship which covered all my expenses. It may be some time before I can attend again so this was a great opportunity. Thank you so much for the scholarship!”
