Scholarships

Memorial Scholarship

The Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to expand professional development opportunities for EMDR trained therapists who would otherwise not be able to attend the annual EMDRIA Conference. The fund was inspired as a memorial to Elizabeth Snyker, one of our dedicated founding members.

Recipients receive complimentary conference registration for the 2026 EMDRIA Conference.
