Registration Scholarships

The Network offers needs-based scholarships to attend the Extravaganza through the Tom Hunstad Scholarship Fund. Due to limited funds, we are only able to offer financial assistance to offset the main event registration fees. Special consideration is given to leaders of color as well as first time event attendees. Scholarships are approved in batches, as funds permit. You will be notified of your scholarship status within the same registration rate timeframe. 

At this time, membership fees and event add ons are not eligible for scholarship dollars. If you would like information for a membership scholarship, please contact Todd Buegler.

Scholarship Information & Application

If you have additional scholarship-related questions, please contact our scholarship coordinator, Amy Wagner.

Policies

Payment

Payments may be made by Visa, MasterCard, American Express or by check. For credit card payments, the full amount will be charged to your account at the time that you register. For check payments, you will be emailed an invoice for the full amount due when you register. We must receive a check for the full amount due within 10 days, unless...Sometimes people want to register in the fall, but pay out of next year's budget line. That's fine. Please go ahead and register, and then email Laurie Hoium indicating that a check will be sent after January 1. We will honor the earlier price.

Please note that all registration costs for registrations received prior to January 1 need to be paid no later than January 5, 2025. Thanks!

Cancellation Policy

Please understand that the Extravaganza has hard costs that relate to the number of people who register for the event. If someone cancels their registration, we still have to pay those costs. Cancellations before December 1, 2025 will be refunded 50% of registration fees. After December 1, we are unable to refund any of the registration fee since we’ve already committed that money to the hotel. To cancel your registration, email Laurie Hoium. You are able to transfer your registration from the onsite event to the digital event, however we are not able to refund the difference in registration cost.

Transfer of Registration

Sometimes we are asked if it is possible to transfer a registration. We understand how tight ministry budgets are and are willing to allow transfers. To make a transfer, the person receiving the registration must be a member of the Network. No transfers are accepted after December 1. Email Laurie Hoium to request a transfer.

Children and Childcare

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide childcare at this conference.
