ICEP is pleased to announce the Leadership Scholarship program is continuing in 2020. The program is open to all Illinois member residents and young physicians (out of residency five year or less).

Three scholarships are available! Applications are due January 15, 2020.

ICEP Leadership Scholarship Program Overview

ICEP will award three $750 Leadership Scholarships in 2020. The scholarship recipients will be required to use the scholarship funds to do each of the following:

• Attend ICEP Advocacy Day in Springfield, Illinois on March 19, 2020
• Attend ACEP Leadership and Advocacy Conference on April 26-29, 2020 in Washington, DC

Scholarship recipients will also be required to submit short reports about their experience at each event that will be published in the Illinois EPIC newsletter.

ICEP Advocacy Day is a half-day program where members travel to Springfield for a briefing with ICEP’s lobbyists and then spend the afternoon connecting with their legislators at the Capitol.

Scholarship funds will be awarded upon successful registration for ACEP Leadership and Advocacy Conference. Funds may be used for conference registration fee and all travel expenses.
