NAI Student Scholarships are awarded to students of interpretation on a competitive basis to attend the NAI National Conference.
Professional Interpreter Grants provide assistance to working interpreters to help offset the costs of professional development through NAI (attendance at the national conference, certification fees, and costs association with other workshops and programs that the NAI national office conducts).
Because of the generosity of thousands of members NAI has awarded tens of thousands of dollars in cash and training to interpreters through the years.

Support YOUR Profession!
NAI is YOUR professional association – together we work to support those involved in the interpretation of natural and cultural heritage resources, and ensure that institutions and agencies do not overlook the importance of heritage interpretation when budget priorities are being set.
It is vital that as a profession we are in a position to provide the support necessary to assure good stewardship and interpretation of our historic and cultural heritage for the public. There are several ways for you to be a champion for heritage interpretation:
- Contributions to the Annual Fund go to support the organization’s ability to provide quality programs, resources and services to interpreters in the field as well as interpretive sites. Annual fund contributions are vital for NAI to continue to offer free/low cost webinars like our Race, Social Justice, and Interpretation series and our going digital in the time of COVID-19 offerings.
- Contributions to the Scholarship Fund will help provide training scholarships for students and front-line interpreters who otherwise would not be able to attend training programs and gain needed skills.
- Include NAI in your Planned Giving. Help ensure that NAI will continue to provide services to the field of interpretation for years to come. Planned gifts may be designated for specific purposes and may provide tax advantages for donors and their heirs.
Your gift will be tax deductible – NAI is a 501(c)3 nonprofit educational organization and we will provide you with confirmation for your tax records.
Consider a more significant gift by setting up recurring payments – decide what fits your budget and we can set up a payment plan for any amount and over whatever period works for you.
