Child Life Council international scholarships

The Child Life Council (CLC) is a U.S. based non-profit membership organization whose 5,000-plus members are pediatric psychosocial care professionals working in hospitals and other health care settings. It has made available two or more international scholarships to attend the 2013 CLC Annual Conference on Professional Issues in Denver, Colorado, May 16-19, 2013.

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. At its discretion, CLC may offer additional partial scholarships that will cover attendees' registration fees, hotel accommodations, and a small stipend for meals and incidentals (airfare not included).

Applicants may be from any country outside North America. Applications are encouraged from any health care professional from outside North America who has 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. Individuals from countries that are classified as developing or emerging economies are encouraged to apply. Applicants must have proficiency in English, as it is the official language of the Conference. The deadline for applications is 31 January 2013.
