Greetings!

We are excited that you are interested in attending the 2024 Collaborative Experience Conference for Parents of deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing children and for professionals who serves them. The parent scholarship will pay for:

1. Registration

2. Hotel and Food

All parents of D/DB/HH children are encouraged to apply for the scholarship.  There is something for everyone at the conference. If you do not fit one of the priorities listed below,  your application will be placed  on a wait list. If a scholarship becomes available to those on the wait list, we will contact you with a registration code. Parents on the scholarship wait list will be contacted on a first come, first serve basis. 

Priority for scholarship support  will be given to parents who fit at least one of the following: 

1. A parent of deaf, deafblind or hard of hearing children from Birth to age 8

2. Parents who reside  in Greater Minnesota (anywhere within Minnesota other than the 7-county Metro area)

3. Parents who have not attended the Collaborative Experience Conference in the past

4. Parents who are from a diverse family background

Please review the guidelines before filling out the application. There is a $25 processing fee to receive the scholarship. Once approved for scholarship, you will be asked to make a check payable to the Minnesota Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing.
