Crime
Victim State
Scholarship Program
Victims
play
a
central
role
in
informing
the
development
of
victim
assistance
policy,
protocol,
and
training.
However,
most
state
and
local
organizations
do
not
have
the
funding
to
support
victim
participation
in
the
statewide
conferences
where
much
of
the
information
dissemination
and
discussion
about
policy,
protocol,
service
delivery,
and
training
occurs.
Likewise,
victims
also
often
do
not
have
the
resources
to
attend
conferences.
To
alleviate
this
problem,
OVC
has
established
the
Crime
Victim
State
Scholarship
Program,
which
offers
funding
to
organizations
to
provide
scholarships
for
victims
to
attend
statewide
conferences
on
victims'
issues.
The
scholarships
will
cover
expenses
such
as
travel,
lodging,
conference
fees,
and
other
costs
associated
with
attending
conferences.
The
OVC
Training
and
Technical
Assistance
Center
is
developing
a
plan
to
administer
the
scholarship
fund.
