2026 Apraxia Kids National Conference Scholarship Application


About the Scholarship:
The Apraxia Kids National Conference is a unique educational opportunity on childhood apraxia of speech, and an unforgettable experience for all families and professionals who attend. Even though many attendees who attend describe this experience as “life-changing,” we know that not all those who would benefit from this educational event have the means to attend the National Conference. With this in mind, Apraxia Kids will be offering a limited number of financial scholarships to aid caregivers and individuals 18 and above living with CAS who may not otherwise be able to attend the conference.

The application for scholarships to the Apraxia Kids National Conference is now open.

Scholarship Application opens February 2, 2026
Conference Registration opens Early March
Scholarship Application closes April 30, 2026
In-Person Event in Pittsburgh, PA July 9-11, 2026

Applications will be on a rolling review throughout the application cycle.
Awardees will be notified of their status within 3 weeks of applying.

Do not register for the conference before receiving your scholarship status.
Registration funds will not be reimbursed.

 

Eligibility:
Individuals 18 and above living with CAS and/or Parents/Caregivers of a child diagnosed with (or suspected to have) childhood apraxia of speech are eligible for a scholarship. Priority will be given to applicants attending their first Apraxia Kids National Conference and applicants who have not received a scholarship in the past. Each scholarship covers one person. Only one scholarship per family will be awarded. Scholarships are not transferable to another person or another conference year.

Applicants can choose if they want to attend the conference in-person or virtual.
In-Person Scholarship – One free registration to attend in-person, including all virtual sessions, plus a $250 travel reimbursement paid after the event.
