Pathway to Innovations: Certification & Licensure Scholarship
Apply here by November 7, 2025

ATP's Certification and Licensure Division is proud to launch the Pathway to Innovations: Certification & Licensure Scholarship, supporting professionals, students, and practitioners who are advancing the field of certification and licensure but may not have the resources or organizational support to attend Innovations in Testing 2026.

The scholarship provides:

  • Complimentary registration to Innovations 2026
  • Access to sessions on fairness, validity, security, innovation, and inclusion
  • Mentorship from a certification/licensure professional and ATP leader
  • Opportunities to connect with industry experts and peers

Who should apply: Professionals, students, or practitioners working in, or aspiring to work in, certification and licensure, especially those whose organizations do not fund conference attendance.

There is no fee to apply, and one recipient will be selected based on their interest in certification/licensure and their potential to contribute meaningfully to the assessment community.

Apply by November 7, 2025. If you know someone who may be a great fit, please share this opportunity!
