SOTF Arts Registration Scholarship
Oahu-based Public, Private and Charter School Teachers

Thanks to a generous grant from the Stevens World Peace Foundation, the Schools of the Future Conference is once again pleased to offer a limited number of registration scholarships for O’ahu-based public, charter, and private school teachers to attend the 2025 SOTF Conference, which will take place October 16 & 17, 2025 at the Hawai‘i Convention Center in Honolulu.

Preference will be given to art teachers and educators who can demonstrate a commitment to integrating art into their work with students and who are interested in cultivating peace through the use of arts within their classrooms.

Award recipients are expected to attend the conference on Friday, October 17, 2025, which is when the arts-focused keynote presentation will take place. Participants are welcome to attend both days of the conference (October 16-17, 2025) but attendance on Friday is mandatory.

Scholarships are available for either a 1- day ticket for Friday, October 17 (valued at $280) or 2-day SOTF ticket (valued at $560). Scholarships will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis with a maximum of (2) recipients per school.

Eligibility:

  • Applicants must be classroom teachers from Oahu-based public, private and charter schools that serve children in a K-12 setting.
  • Preference will be given to art teachers or educators who integrate the arts into their curriculum.
  • Applicants must be willing to speak to their vision to “cultivate peace through the arts” in their application.
  • Each applicant must complete their own application.
  • The recipient will have 30 days or up until September 30, 2025, to register using the discount code noted in the award letter.
  • Attendance at the SOTF Conference and completion of a post-conference survey are required for award recipients.

Deadline to apply: Friday, September 19, 2025 or until funds have been depleted
Notifications will be sent as applications are received and within two weeks of submission. Please note that award recipients should register as soon as the notification is received, in order to take advantage of the registration rate in effect at that time.
