The National Association of Athletic Ticket Sales & Operations (NAATSO) is excited to launch the application for the 2027 Convention Stipend Program.

This year NAATSO is offering a total of 15 stipends across three (3) categories which include the Diversity Initiative Stipend, Women in Ticketing Initiative Stipend, presented by Eventellect, and the Financial Assistance Initiative Stipend. To be considered for the NAATSO Stipend Program, applications must be submitted by Tuesday, December 1. 

"On behalf of the NAATSO Board of Directors, we are proud to continue investing in the professional growth and development of our membership through our annual stipend program," said Dan Preuett, NAATSO President. "Through the Convention Stipend Program, we are able to provide meaningful opportunities for ticketing and revenue-generating professionals to come together, exchange ideas and strengthen connections across collegiate athletics. As our industry continues to evolve, creating opportunities for collaboration, education and innovation remains a top priority. We look forward to welcoming our members to Orlando this June and continuing to build on the relationships and shared knowledge that make NAATSO such a valuable professional community."

These initiatives provide each individual the opportunity to attend the annual NAATSO Convention June 13-16 at the World Center Marriott Resort in Orlando, Florida. Not only is NAATSO covering the cost of Convention registration, but each individual will be allotted $1,250 to help offset travel costs.
