The Children’s Commission offers assistance to judges who handle civil child welfare cases in Texas and need financial support in order to attend recognized trainings related to child welfare. The scholarship covers reimbursement for conference registration fees. This opportunity is designed for trainings which are not already addressed by current Commission scholarships (i.e. CPL or NCJFCJ’s Juvenile Justice or Annual Conferences). To learn more about this new judicial scholarship offering and to submit an application, please review the Judicial Scholarship Request information on the Children’s Commission scholarship webpage.
