We would love to issue refunds but due to the nature of the funds donated to support this discount, we are not able to apply a discount retroactively. Refunds are not available for this one-time discount. We appreciate your support of SACNAS events and community through your registration fees. Thank you for your understanding.

I am part of a Puerto Rico SACNAS Chapter. Where do I get my code?

Why is there a discount for Puerto Rico students only?
Thanks to the support of our partners, SACNAS secured funds to support Puerto Rican students who are facing unique challenges at this time, including extremely limited institutional funding support, island-wide economic hardship, and enduring economic effects from natural disasters. With guidance from SACNAS’ Local Cultural Advisory Group and the Sponsorship Task Force, SACNAS staff engaged a group of SACNAS corporate partners to secure financial resources to offset the cost of registration for up to 400 Puerto Rico STEM scholars through a one-time discount on registration. Some of these discounts will be given through our Puerto Rico Chapters and some are open for any Puerto Rican student to register through our online portal. We are also actively seeking contributions to our general student scholarship fund which will support more students to attend nationally - to learn more please click here.
