Victim Services Foundational Academy: JULY 2025

VICTIM SERVICES FOUNDATIONAL ACADEMY INFORMATION

*Submitting your application to Foundational Academy means that you have read and agree to the below:

This application process is open ONLY from May 27 through May 29, 2025. There is no registration fee for this training and both hotel rooms (if requested) and lunch are included as part of registration. You must select that you need a hotel room in order for a complimentary room to be reserved for you.

This process is for those who wish to attend the July 2025 Academy to apply for a spot. Information on funding and length of time at Agency must be completed as part of this process. Please keep in mind that you are required to attend all 3 days in their entirety, as well as complete an additional supplemental online training requirement in order to successfully complete Academy. Registrations are no longer automatic and accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Instead, applications to attend will be prioritized by, but not limited to, length of time at agency, agency's grant requirements, etc. Additionally, only a maximum of 8 staff members per agency may apply for each Academy.

Once prioritized, the top 55 applicants will be notified of their acceptance into Academy. All others will be placed on the waitlist and notified of such. The selection process may take up to 2 weeks. All pending applicants will be contacted as soon as the lists are finalized. We ask for your patience during that time period; as a reminder, we will contact you either way.

***While there is no fee to attend Foundational Academy, there is a $250 cancellation fee if you cancel after July 2, 2025 or no-show. The intent of this policy is to preclude the Institute from being financially liable for costs due to the meeting facility for attendees who cancel at the last minute. This cancellation policy is firm regardless of the reason for canceling including a change in trial schedule, illness, weather conditions, etc. As always, substitutions are allowed for persons who have to cancel after the cancellation date.
