ANC First-Timer Scholarship The ANC First-Timer Scholarship is made possible through a generous donation from AccuTemp Products. These scholarships give SNA members (employees and managers) who have never attended SNA’s Annual National Conference (ANC) the opportunity to take advantage of the valuable educational and professional development opportunities to advance their careers. The $500 scholarship may be used to cover registration and travel expenses associated with attending ANC. We have received 20 eligible nominations, so nominations are now closed.
