ACLP Scholarships on Pause
At ACLP, we are deeply committed to supporting individuals from underrepresented identity groups within the child life community. As we prepare for our annual grant submission to Disney, it's essential that our scholarships initiatives align closely with our mission while adapting to the evolving needs of our diverse community.
Due to this our scholarship programs are currently on pause as we evaluate both programs in order to enhance their impact and effectiveness.
