Scholarship Information

 The PeerFest 2024 Planning Committee believes that every Texan with lived experience of mental health challenges has a right to live a productive and joyful life. PeerFest was created to offer time for peers to play, learn wellness tools, and enjoy the company of other peers. To that end, the committee members set the PeerFest registration fee as low as possible. The fee includes 3 nights of lodging, 8 meals, full access to the indoor waterpark, workshops, creativity room, and lots of entertaining activities.

Scholarships for support with registration or travel were limited to discounts at the time of registration. These have been exhausted at this time. Scholarship funds were dependent on PeerFest sponsorships.

We encourage you to seek support funds from sources that you know. Here are some sources that PeerFest planning committee members and attendees have approached and found success with receiving support funds:

  • Your Local Mental Health Authority

  • Supporters in your life…Friends, Family, Peer Supporters

  • An organization for which you work or volunteer

  • Members of your church, mosque, or synagogue

  • Your physician, dentist, therapist

Some PeerFest 2024 attendees are having bake sales, garage sales and craft sales of their handmade goods. Some have set up a Go Fund Me account.

And, don’t forget…you can also ask your LMHA, clubhouse, grocery store, etc. to serve as a PeerFest sponsor.

Thank you for your partnership and we hope to see you at PeerFest 2024,

The PeerFest 2024 Planning Committee
