The IOCDF is pleased to be able to provide a number of Conference Scholarships to individuals who would might otherwise not be able to have difficulty attending the 26th Annual OCD Conference. This year, we are once again offering both need-based scholarships as well as scholarships for therapists who work with diverse populations to attend the Conference (including the Annual Hoarding Meeting). If you are interested in donating to the IOCDF Conference Scholarship Fund and learning more how your donation can impact a Conference attendee, please click here .
The Need-Based Conference Scholarship Program allows for low-income individuals and families to attend the Annual OCD Conference (including the Annual Hoarding Meeting) at a discounted rate ($50 registration per person for members, $75 per person for non-members — does not include travel, accommodation, or meal costs).
Please note: As our scholarship spaces are limited and we wish to extend the opportunity to attend the OCD Conference to as many scholarship recipients as possible, we have limited the number of times that one individual can take advantage of the scholarship program to once every 3-year period. If you have been a scholarship recipient in 2017 or 2018, you may apply again for a scholarship in 2020 or 2021, respectively. Thank you for your understanding.
We are no longer accepting scholarship applications for the 26th Annual OCD Conference.
The IOCDF is pleased to offer a scholarship opportunity for professionals, trainees, and students who work with underrepresented populations to attend the Annual OCD Conference (including the Annual Hoarding Meeting). The Working with Diversity Scholarship is part of the IOCDF’s commitment to ensuring our OCD community is inclusive of all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexuality. It is our hope that this scholarship will provide practitioners, students, and trainees who work with minority communities the opportunity to learn from the myriad resources of the Annual OCD Conference, which will in turn improve access to treatment for diverse populations the world over.
Any professionals, trainees, or students whose research or practice touches on increasing treatment accessibility to minority communities are invited to apply. The scholarship will be granted based on a review of answers to application questions and the applicant’s CV. Preference will be given to first-time attendees, full time clinicians, and those working in underserved areas and/or communities. If accepted, scholarship winners will be able to attend the full Annual OCD Conference at the following rates:
