Conference Scholarships

Each year ILEETA awards scholarships to publicly employed ILEETA members who have been active members for at least a year prior to their application. Selections are based on a number of factors including financial need, the number of persons trained, recommendations from the agency, awards, etc.

Please login with your ILEETA preferred email address and password.  Complete the application and submit up to two letters of recommendation to info@ileeta.org.  Deadline for applications is 1/20/2020.
