The National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) believes that the most powerful voices are from self-advocates with Down syndrome. We have a small budget to offer scholarships for participants who face significant financial barriers to attending the conference and are unable to secure support or group discounts from their local Down syndrome group.
Before applying for a scholarship, we encourage you to contact your local Down syndrome group as they may offer financial assistance to attend the conference or be taking advantage of the NDSS group discount for 10 or more registrants.
Completion of this application does not guarantee a full or partial scholarship award. This application will close at 5 PM on January 10, 2025. Applicants will be notified of scholarship decisions by Friday, January 24th, 2025.
If you have any questions about scholarship opportunities, group rates, or need help connecting to your local Down syndrome group, please email us at policy@ndss.org. Additionally, please email us if you would benefit from any accommodations to make this process more accessible to you.
