THE PARENT-CHILD HOME PROGRAM 2016 CONFERENCE SCHOLARSHIPS Through the Phyllis Levenstein Fund, a limited number of conference scholarships are available to Parent-Child Home Program Coordinators and Home Visitors. Priority is given to those individuals who have never been able to attend the conference, those who have not been able to attend recently, and to program sites that have not previously received scholarships. We also will give priority to those who have a demonstrated need and will be presenting a workshop at the conference. Send in your workshop proposal as soon as possible, and we will give you feedback regarding if it likely to be accepted and if you are likely to receive a scholarship. In considering scholarship applications, The Parent-Child Home Program Board of Directors takes into consideration what your school district or agency can contribute towards conference attendance. The Fund cannot cover all expenses, but will try to “match” support from your school district/agency. Most scholarships cover the conference fee(s); a small number partially cover hotel expenses, as well. If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please complete the attached Scholarship Application. We encourage everyone who could benefit from a scholarship, including those who have received a scholarship in the past, to apply. There is no way for us to know what the demand will be for scholarships in any given year. Your eligibility cannot be determined until we see how many sites apply. Preference will first be given to Coordinators, especially those who have not attended the conference in recent years. However, we also encourage you to apply for scholarships that would allow Home Visitors, who could not otherwise participate, to attend. Please fax the application to Michele Morrison at 516-883-7481, or mail to The ParentChild Home Program, 1415 Kellum Place, Suite 101, Garden City, NY 11530. You may also e-mail it to: mmorrison@parent-child.org. Be sure to confirm receipt of your application by the deadline. The deadline for applying for a scholarship is February 12, 2016.
