JW Scholarship

The Jacob Wetterling Scholarship provides an opportunity for two individuals who work primarily with victims of sexual abuse to attend the annual MnATSA Conference.

The Minnesota Chapter of the Association for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Abuse (MnATSA) is the state chapter of the Association for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Abuse (ATSA). MnATSA is a non-profit, interdisciplinary organization committed to preventing sexual abuse through education, research, and professional intervention.

In 2017, the MnATSA Education and Public Policy Committee announced the creation of two Jacob Wetterling Scholarships. These scholarships were created to promote professional relationships across organizations and to provide opportunities for individuals who work primarily with victims of sexual abuse to attend the MnATSA conference. The scholarships cover the cost of the conference registration for up to three days. The scholarships do not include lodging or other expenses.

Whether you are familiar with MnATSA or have never attended our conference, please consider
submitting a scholarship application. Please visit www.mnatsa.org for more information on the conferences and the organization itself. Thank you for all you do to advance the mission of preventing sexual abuse.
