2027 ACCJH Conference Scholarship
About the Scholarship
The ACCJH 20th Annual Meeting, taking place March 1-3, 2027, at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, is the premier interdisciplinary conference advancing health and equity across the criminal legal system.
Each year, ACCJH brings together researchers, clinicians, educators, policymakers, practitioners, community leaders, advocates, and others whose professional expertise and lived experience strengthen the field of carceral health. Our Conference Scholarship Program helps ensure that financial barriers do not prevent meaningful participation in these conversations.
Scholarship recipients receive support for conference registration, hotel accommodations, and travel, making it possible to fully engage with colleagues from across disciplines who are working to improve health, advance equity, and transform systems.
A single application is used to determine eligibility for all available ACCJH scholarship opportunities, including the Lynette Abdul-Waliyy Scholarship, which honors individuals whose work reflects an exceptional commitment to community partnership, health equity, systems change, and leadership grounded in lived expertise.
We invite you to apply and join a community committed to learning, collaboration, and advancing the future of carceral health.
