ACCJH 2025 Call for Scholarships The Academic Consortium on Criminal Justice and Health will be offering scholarships to attend our 18th annual meeting. This year’s conference will take place March 17-19, 2025, at the Marriott Renaissance Austin Hotel, in Austin, Texas.
All applications will be reviewed by two members of the ACCJH Board of Directors. Scholarship applicants who are planning to present at this year’s conference will have an advantage in the award process. We are also particularly interested in applicants who have lived experience with the criminal legal system—a member constituency that has been historically under-represented at the conference. We will award one scholarship recipient the Warren J. Ferguson Scholarship, which will be presented at the conference. *Due to the high demand for scholarship support, please note that individuals who received Langeloth scholarships to attend the ACCJH conference in 2023 and 2024 are not eligible to apply.
Applications are due no later than Friday, October 25, 2024 at 11:59pm EST.
