IACP International Scholarship

This scholarship was adopted in 2024 as a way to encourage attendance of our international members to the IACP Annual Educational Conference (AEC), and Annual General Meeting of Members (AGM). 

The formation of a new scholarship was presented and approved by the IACP Board of Directors in March of 2024. The new International Attendee Scholarship was funded through two generous donations with the intention to encourage AEC and AGM attendance through offering financial resources to IACP Professional and Associate members who are not US citizens and reside outside the US and US territories.
