Your Opportunity to Attend AuDacity 2026 is Here — and Applications are Now Open!
The Academy of Doctors of Audiology is thrilled to announce that the AuDacity Student Scholarship is officially accepting applications through June 19, 2026. This is one of the most valuable opportunities available to audiology students, and we encourage every eligible student to apply.
What the Scholarship Includes
Valued at more than $1,500, the AuDacity Student Scholarship covers your full conference registration (including most meals), up to three nights of single-occupancy hotel accommodations at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, and a $300 travel stipend for students traveling more than 60 miles from the conference venue.
What You Can Expect at AuDacity
This year's scholarship experience is one for the books. You'll kick off the conference with an exclusive student-only workshop on Thursday, October 1 at Starkey Headquarters — an extraordinary behind-the-scenes experience at one of the most innovative companies in hearing healthcare. You'll also attend the ADA Member Business Meeting, participate in student sessions and meetings designed specifically for the next generation of audiologists, and spend four days networking with ADA leaders, fellow students from universities across the nation, and some of the brightest minds in audiology.
Travel Requirements
Scholarship recipients are responsible for making their own transportation arrangements. Please plan to arrive by Wednesday, September 30 and depart no earlier than 3:00 p.m. local time on Saturday, October 3.
