Scholarships
Through the generosity of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine, our donors, partners and corporate sponsors, the AACPDM is proud to offer Annual Meeting Scholarships to AACPDM members in good standing. Three types of scholarships are offered for each year's Annual Meeting: International, Student, and OrthoPediatrics®.

The Academy seeks applicants who are highly motivated, currently in clinical practice, and who are in a position which will enable them to disseminate the knowledge acquired at the meeting to others in their home country once they return. Scholarship applicants must be current AACPDM members or applicants. Particular emphasis is placed on assisting those from areas with under-supported medical systems and limited financial resources.
