Child Life Council Announces Worldwide Outreach Scholarships
for 2012 Annual Conference

Rockville, MD – December 1, 2011– The Child Life Council (CLC) is pleased to announce the availability of two international scholarships to attend the 2012 CLC Annual Conference on Professional Issues in Washington, DC, May 24-27, 2012.

Applicants may be from any country outside North America. Applications are encouraged from Certified Child Life Specialists, but since there are countries in which the child life profession has yet to have a formal presence, applicants are not required to be a Certified Child Life Specialist. The award process will look most favorably on applicants who are professional practitioners or administrators in a position to be able to introduce, or greatly enhance, the use of child life practice and principles in health care facilities in their country or part of the world. Individuals from countries that are classified as developing or emerging economies are encouraged to apply. Applicants must have proficiency in English, as all presentations at the Annual Conference will be delivered in this language.

Each scholarship will cover registration for the conference, up to five nights lodging at the conference hotel, actual cost of economy round-trip airfare up to—but not exceeding— $1,800 US, and a small stipend for meals and incidentals.

A committee appointed by the CLC Board will review applications and select recipients. Awardees will be named and all applicants will be notified of the decision no later than March 1, 2012.
