Stickley Travel Grant

Thanks to dividends from the Elnora Harman Stickley Investment, grants are awarded annually to support student winners and/or IMTA Board Members attending the MTNA National Conference, held each year in March or April.

All current IMTA Board Members—including Local Association Presidents and Collegiate Chapter Presidents—are eligible to apply. If a member of the Board of Trustees also holds a position on the IMTA Board, they remain eligible for a Stickley Grant but must recuse themselves from any deliberations regarding the grant process.

Student competitors selected to compete in the national MTNA competitions are also eligible to apply. This includes:

1. MTNA Performance Competitions winners from the East Central Division who must travel to the national conference for the finals.
2. MTNA Composition Competition winners who must travel to the national conference to present their winning composition and accept their award. (These national winners are known prior to the national conference.)
3. Other finalists or winners who must travel to the national conference as part of their obligation to MTNA, for example, the MTNA Studio Fellowship winner.

The total amount distributed annually may not exceed $2,000 (full distribution not required).

Applications are due by January 31 each year, ahead of the March/April MTNA Conference. Application forms are available on the IMTA website.
