To Whom it May Concern,

My name is Dr. Eliot Winer and I am the Scholarship Chair for the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) sponsored by the National Training and Simulation Association (NTSA). I, along with my deputy, Dr. Anne Little, invite applicants for all our available graduate scholarships:

• RADM Fred Lewis Postgraduate Scholarship
• Leonard P. Gollobin Postgraduate Scholarship
• Certified Modeling and Simulation Professional (CMSP) Postgraduate Scholarship 

This is our 36th year providing these scholarships as part of I/ITSEC. I/ITSEC is one of the largest and most respected conferences on modeling, simulation, training, and educational technologies and methods. This year we are pleased to again offer scholarships at the Masters level in the amount $5,000 and at the Doctoral level in the amount of $10,000. 

The scholarships are offered to stimulate student interest and university participation in preparing individuals for leadership in the Modeling & Simulation and Training and Education communities. By investing in our future workforce, these scholarships encourage expansion of the I/ITSEC community and promote innovation through direct investment in our community’s future leaders. The scholarship recipient(s) will be invited to attend I/ITSEC ‘26 (November 30 – December 3rd, 2026), fully paid for by I/ITSEC, where they will be recognized, view the latest in simulation, training and education technologies and meet leaders from Government, Industry and Academia associated with this community.
