The Children’s Commission is offering up to 15 reimbursement scholarships to attend one of the two American Bar Association (ABA) Center on Children and the Law’s national conferences:
- The Access to Justice for Children and Families Conference on April 9-10, 2024; or
- The National Parent Representation Conference on April 10-11, 2024.
Both conferences will be held in-person in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia. More information about the conferences is available on the ABA website.
To meet the criteria for a scholarship, attorney applicants must currently represent the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) or take appointments in child welfare cases and be in good standing with the State Bar of Texas and with their appointing or presiding judge. The scholarship will take the form of reimbursement of up to $1,500 for the conference registration fee and eligible conference-related travel expenses to attend one of the two conferences.
All scholarship recipients must also commit to timely completion of a post-event survey from the Children’s Commission. Applicants who meet all the criteria will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis for a scholarship, until all scholarships are filled.
For more information and to submit an application, please visit the Attorney Scholarships webpage.
Please note, the application period for this scholarship opportunity will close this Friday at midnight, January 12, 2024. Applicants will be notified of their scholarship status by January 19, 2024.
