Thanks to the generosity of the Liben Family Fund, special donors, and many of our supporters, we are determined that financial difficulties will not prevent anyone from attending our Conference. However, funds are not unlimited, and due to the increasing number of applications each year, we aren’t able to award as much as we’d like.

We encourage those with financial hardships to apply, but please keep in mind that we do not offer 100% scholarships for anyone and that funds are limited. In addition, yearly scholarship funding may run out before the deadline. Thank you to all who applied for scholarship funding during this cycle. All scholarship funding for 2021 has been awarded and all recipients have been notified.

The 2021 NSA Annual Conference will be here sooner than you think, and we can’t wait to see everyone in Austin, TX in early July!

The NSA is always looking for fresh, fun, and informative workshop ideas to help attendees learn more about stuttering, its impact and how to live one’s best life.

Interactive small group discussions on provocative topics make for great workshops. Cutting-edge research sessions are also well-received. Workshops about careers, relationships, advice for parents, covert stuttering, overcoming stigma, and self-acceptance are always favorites. And, don’t forget about fun and helpful sessions for kids, ‘tweens, and teens!

Together, let’s make the 2021 NSA Annual Conference the best one — it all starts with your workshop proposal.

The NSA Annual Conference is something that can’t be described; whether online or in person, you have to experience it for yourself. In numerous workshops, sessions, and events you’ll learn about stuttering from experts, explore your attitudes toward living life as a person who stutters, make new friends, reconnect with old friends, be entertained, and feel a togetherness that you’ve never felt before.

But don’t take our word for it. Read these testimonials from recent Conference attendees.

NSA 2020 Virtual Conference

While this year’s Conference didn’t look quite the same as in years past, we were able to deliver an experience that won’t soon be forgotten! This online event offered connection, support, and education to people who stutter of all ages through interactive Zoom sessions, keynote conversations, roundtable discussions, games, and fun activities, all surrounding the theme of: Changing Lives Together.
