One-Person Child Life Program Conference Scholarships

Overview

Beginning in 2019, ACLP was able to award two One-Person Program Conference Scholarships annually. Applicants were Certified Child Life Specialists working full time in hospital-based, one-person programs who had never attended an ACLP conference. In 2020, the scholarship requirements were expanded to include additional application questions and a personal statement.

The scholarships include:*

  • One full-conference registration,
  • Two half-day or one full-day intensive,
  • Sunday tour of local child life program,
  • Access to digital, recorded conference content for 1 year,
  • Hotel accommodations for three nights,
  • Airfare: $500 towards the cost of air travel expenses,
  • Per diem: $500 to cover ground transportation to/from airport, food & beverage, ground transportation to/from hotel.
  *In 2020, the recipients attended conference virtually.
