Out of respect and understanding of the challenging times our healthcare members are currently facing, we'd like to extend the IPBC Scholarship deadline to August 14, 2020. 

The Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Alliance is proud to announce that with the support of our PLIDA Members and through donations from our Facebook followers, we will be awarding 15 conference scholarships to health care professionals who would like to attend the 22nd International Perinatal Bereavement Conference (2021 IPBC) in Chicago, Illinois, May 12-15, 2021.

The scholarships cover only the cost of the main conference. Scholarship recipients are responsible for any additional costs outside of the conference registration fee, including travel, accommodations and Preconference fee should they wish to attend.
