Please complete the following application if you would like to request an ILCA Conference Scholarship. The deadline for 2018 Conference Scholarship applications is 23:59 EST on 28 February 2018. Decision notification will occur in early April.

ILCA Conference Scholarships are available to those who would like to request financial assistance in order to attend the ILCA conference due to social, economic, or political hardships. Scholarship funds are generously provided by our members through the ILCA Breastfeeding Benefactor Program.

ILCA will award conference scholarships as stipends.These stipends will be reserved for costs associated with travel such as transportation, accommodations, and food. To access funds, awardees must pay costs up-front and then submit receipts and a reimbursement form to the ILCA office to be reimbursed for their expenses.

In 2018, there will be eight scholarship stipends available, four to attendees and four to speakers. There will be one attendee scholarship and one speaker scholarship provided for each country category.

The stipend value for each country category is listed below. You may determine your country category here.

  • Category A: $   533.50
  • Category B: $   773.50
  • Category C: $1,039.50
  • Category D: $1,055.50

Both ILCA Members and non-members are encouraged to apply.

Past conference scholarship recipients are encouraged to re-apply, though it is our preference to award scholarships to individuals who have not already received this benefit.

Please note that all information collected will be used by ILCA Staff and volunteers to evaluate applications, contact attendees for award notification, and activate conference scholarships, if applicable.

If you have any questions regarding this application or Conference Scholarships, please email us at admin@ilca.org.
