Annually, the Association of Child Life Professionals (ACLP) provides eight International Scholarships to enable recipients to attend the Child Life Annual Conference.
This scholarship is made possible by the generous support of the Disney.
International Scholarships cover the following:
- One-year ACLP membership
- Cost of registration for the conference
- Up to five nights lodging at the conference hotel
- Round-trip airfare up to $1,800 U.S.
- Stipend of $250 USD to help toward incidental expenses such as meals, taxi, etc.
Applications are encouraged from any healthcare professional outside of the United States and Canada (individuals from Puerto Rico and American Territories are encouraged to apply) who have an interest in the psychosocial care of children.
The award process will look most favorably on professional practitioners or administrators in a position to be able to introduce, or greatly enhance, psychosocial care consistent with
child life practice and principles in their respective parts of the world. Applicants must have proficiency in English, as it is the official language of the conference.
