SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES
The ULF is dedicated to ensuring that families who want to join us at the Family Conference are able to – regardless of financial hardship. The deadline to apply is February 14, 2025. Applicants will be notified of their application status the week of March 2, 2025. If you are applying for a scholarship, please wait to register until you have been notified of your application status. Instructions for scholarship recipients will be provided at that time. Please note that if awarded a scholarship, you will still be responsible for the registration fees, $25 per adult and $15 per child.
Scholarship applications submitted after the February 14 deadline will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and placed on our waitlist. We will do our best to accommodate as resources allow.
