Back for a third year, IASB will be offering the Joint Annual Conference Scholarship Program again in 2026. Applications for this year's Joint Annual Conference Scholarships are now available.
Last year, 40 board members from 40 different districts took advantage of this opportunity to enhance their professional growth and network with peers and colleagues. The scholarships cover the Joint Annual Conference registration fee ($560), a daily meal allotment, and an allowable expense reimbursement for transportation and incidentals. Districts will be responsible for costs associated with housing.
Each scholarship recipient will be assigned an IASB Director, who will serve as a mentor and guide to maximize the learning opportunities at the Joint Annual Conference.
Board members who have never previously attended the Annual Conference, or districts that have not recently sent any members of their board of education to Conference, are encouraged to apply. The deadline to complete the online application is April 15. Scholarship recipients will be notified of the scholarship award by mid-May.
The 2026 Joint Annual Conference will take place in Chicago, November 20-22. Conference registration will open on June 1.
