COURTHOUSE STEWARD HOTEL STIPENDS
The continued financial support of the Texas Land Title Association permits us to offer a lodging stipend for our official Courthouse Stewards. Courthouse Stewards are responsible for booking their own hotel accommodations for the Real Places conference. While a Texas Land Title Association (TLTA) grant covers two nights per county, this grant does not include booking the room on their behalf. For a definition of a Courthouse Steward, please see the FAQ page.
Looking for general hotel stipend info? We have moved away from general hotel stipends to focus our funding on registration scholarships. Please apply via our Scholarship Application if you require assistance to attend. Lodging assistance funds are now severely limited and evaluated separately on a strict case-by-case basis. If a scholarship alone is insufficient to cover your attendance needs, submit your scholarship application first, then contact the event planner with a detailed note regarding your lodging situation.
