Lodging Grants for Summit

Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) is proud to offer lodging grants for Healthcare Summit + Expo held during August 24 – 27, 2025 at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, Louisiana. The lodging grant package will include up to 3 nights stay at the Hyatt Regency during the selected conference dates. There will be 250 lodging grants awarded to qualifying clinicians, on a first come, first serve basis. For those who have already registered, your name has been added to the first group for consideration for lodging grants.

Definition: The 2025 lodging grant will represent a designated credit for up to three (3) nights' for guestroom and tax only at the Hyatt Regency, not to exceed the conference hotel guestroom rate of $159 per night plus tax. The Hyatt Regency guestroom reservations must comply with the contracted "meeting guestroom block."

• Designated three (3) night credit: The 2025 lodging grant will cover guestroom and tax charges for August 24 - 27, 2025 at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, LA only.  You are responsible for the first night's stay. If you are only staying August 24 - 27, you will still be responsible for the first night's stay.
• Hotel Reservations: PVA is under contractual obligation to the Hyatt Regency for guestroom nights. To receive the lodging grant, your reservation MUST qualify for PVA's Guestroom Block. Hotel reservations made using a coupon, travel credit program, Expedia, Travelocity or any other method, including government rate reservation will not be included in PVA's guestroom block by the hotel.
• Hotel Reservation Procedure: If you are awarded PVA's Summit 2025 lodging grant, upon receiving notification you must reserve your room online or by phone for your full length of stay. PVA will notify the hotel of the nights to be credited after your reservation has been made. Visit the Hotel and Travel page for more information.
  
• Hotel Cancellation Policy: If you elect to cancel after accepting the lodging grant or 'no show', you will be responsible for one night's hotel cost.
• Application: The 2025 lodging grant application is part of the conference online registration system. Once registration is completed, you will receive a confirmation letter. Your lodging grant request approval notification will be sent via a separate email.
• Guestroom Sharing: The 2025 lodging grant applies only to the guestroom nights. For eligible attendees sharing a room, since the lodging grant applies to guestroom nights, only the designated credit of up to 3 nights will be credited to the guestroom.
• Reservation Name: The hotel reservation must be made in the same name used for your conference registration. Any other name, i.e. married name or hyphenated name, not currently in the database creates difficulties matching the conference registration list with the hotel guestroom list. The lodging grant will not be applied to the guestroom, if the name does not match the conference registration list.
• Deadline: Scholarships will close July 25, 2025 unless capacity is reached prior to this date.
