Group Rate
A special “group rate” is available for organizations registering three or more individuals. Groups that pay for two registrations to the conference will receive one complimentary registration.

Payment
No registrations will be processed without payment. We will accept purchase orders with the understanding that purchase orders are recognized as a promise to pay.

Scholarships
To further promote attendance and participation in the LIFE dialogue, the Low-Income Forum on Energy has established a scholarship fund to assist individuals from not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, tribes, and educational institutions who are unable to afford the cost of conference registration. Priority will be given to those applicants who are involved in the development and production of the meetings, who are first time attendees, who have an important link to low-income energy issues or whose attendance would likely result in furthering the mission of LIFE.

Scholarships will be limited to one per agency and will be awarded on a first come first served basis. Applications will be accepted starting on February 27, 2013, and must be received no later than April 10, 2013. To apply for a scholarship, please complete the Scholarship Application Form [PDF] and forward it to LIFE Regional Meetings Scholarship Committee at mf3@nyserda.ny.gov.

Cancellations
Cancellations requesting a refund must be submitted in writing by April 22, 2013 and will be assessed a $20 administration fee. Cancellations received after April 30, 2013 and no-shows will not be refunded.
