Scholarships
The Council for Exceptional Children and the Council of Administrators of Special Education are pleased to offer a limited number of scholarships for the 2026 Special Education Legislative Summit. These scholarships are designed to support educators and advocates who may not otherwise be able to participate and are made possible through generous contributions to CEC’s Advocacy Fund.
Six scholarships will be awarded. Each scholarship includes a $550 travel and housing stipend and complimentary SELS registration.
Priority consideration will be given to applicants who help broaden geographic, professional, and leadership representation across the field.
If you are interested in applying, please complete the SELS 2026 Scholarship Application Form. Questions may be directed to [email protected]. All applicants will be notified of scholarship decisions by mid-May.
