Go, Know, Grow & Flourish Scholarships
We still have funds available to pay the conference fees for trainings you might want to attend. These conferences do not
have to be sponsored by The Arc and do not have to be held in Tippecanoe County.
Individuals with developmental disabilities and family members of people with disabilities who reside
in Tippecanoe County may apply. Family members include parents and siblings, foster parents, legal guardians,
and educational surrogate parents.
This fund reimburses the registration or participation fees associated with conferences, trainings, or
workshops that help individuals and families better understand their disability and/or resources available.
