Youth Scholarships

Information

The application for the 2025 Forum Scholarship program is now open. Scholarships will cover lodging (room and tax) for four nights as well as the applicable registration fee. All applications must be submitted online and must be fully completed in order to be considered. For any questions, email events@cadca.org.

IMPORTANT RULES TO READ:

All submitters will be notified by email to the addresses provided on the application form.
Once recipients are selected, the scholarship cannot be transferred to another individual within your coalition if the original recipient is now unable to attend.
The scholarship cannot be divided among other members of the coalition and applied to registrations rather than housing.
A scholarship from another year cannot be applied as a scholarship for this year.
A scholarship for one person in the coalition does not mean everyone at the coalition who applied also received a scholarship.
Scholarship recipients must stay for the entirety of Forum (Monday through Thursday afternoon).
The scholarship recipient will be held responsible for any expenses CADCA incurs because of failure to attend or late arrival/early departure. This may include hotel room fees and meals included in registration.
Recipients may be asked to assist CADCA staff during the Forum with seat drops, handing out programs, etc.
Adult chaperones attending with a youth scholarship recipient must register and pay at the applicable rate. A youth scholarship only covers the room, room tax and registration for that individual. A youth scholarship does not cover the chaperone’s fees.

Notifications will be emailed out in early November
