This program provides financial support up to $200 to enable Congress presenters with dependent care responsibilities to participate in virtual Congress activities.

Complimentary access for Black and Indigenous participants
In 2022, we will continue to offer complimentary access for Black and Indigenous participants as follows:
- If you are attending an association's conference at Congress and are a student who self-identifies as Black or Indigenous, your Congress fee is waived. Contact your association for your unique registration link and to see if they are waiving your association fee or offering a fee discount.
- If you are purchasing a community pass* to attend open events only, and you self-identify as Black or Indigenous, your community pass is complimentary.
* Available in April
