The West Virginia Statewide Independent Living Council is offering scholarships for young adults with disabilities to attend the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) Annual Conference in Washington, DC July 26-30, 2015 and we want you to apply!
Young adults with disabilities (ANY disability) ages 18 to 26 are eligible to apply for a scholarship to cover conference registration, travel, lodging, and meals for this premier national conference. NCIL’s Annual Conference draws individuals of all ages and disabilities from all 50 states and the territories. In recent years, the NCIL conference has hosted nearly 1,000 individuals, including grassroots advocates, CIL and SILC leadership, and representatives from other major organizations that work for justice and equity for people with disabilities. In 2015, over 1,000 community members, leaders, and advocates are expected to unite in our nation’s capital to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the ADA. NCIL will honor the past and catalyze the future as we rise up to learn from young advocates that have grown up in the 25 years since that momentous legislative victory. The deadline to apply is April 15th, 2015. Click here for an application and more information. Students at JMHS were recently invited to participate in the annual spelling bee t-shirt design contest.
