Dear Prospective Sponsor and/or Exhibitor,

 

The National Association of Veterans Upward Bound (NAVUB) is proud to announce its 2025 conference. Our conference will take place April 21-25, 2025, at the San Juan Marriott Stellaris Hotel and Casino, in San Juan, PR. The Annual Conference is an established forum for employees of the Federal TRIO program, Veterans Upward Bound, to come together to share information, network and receive professional development.

 

We invite you to be a part of this exciting event with your support and/or by signing on as an exhibitor for our conference. The Exhibitors Fair is scheduled to take place the second official day of the conference, April 22, 2025 from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. It will provide you an opportunity to market your products and services to individuals who administer a federal grant program that promotes college access and educational opportunities for veterans. We are expecting 70+ registrants to be in attendance.

We would also like to offer you three other opportunities to promote your products and services with our Welcome Package, Scholarship Raffle and Scholarship Fund Donation. The Welcome Package will go to all registrants attending the conference. The Scholarship Raffle helps to raise funds for our annual scholarship competition. Organizations that donate items or services for the raffle will receive recognition in our Conference Booklet as well as during the conference as we promote the raffle. Finally, we invite you to make a donation of any amount to our scholarship fund. Each year we award scholarships to veterans who have successfully completed the Veterans Upward Bound program and are enrolled in post-secondary education. We started awarding scholarships in 2004 and we have awarded over $80,000 in scholarships since then.  Please note that NAVUB is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
