Limited Scholarship Award - non U.S. Member

The IACA recognizes that law enforcement budgets are often restricted, making it difficult to send analysts to training. To assist IACA members who have never attended an IACA annual training conference, the Awards & Recognition Committee has created a conference scholarship that will be awarded to one member from outside the United States.

This scholarship will include the following:

  • Roundtrip airfare to/from the conference (up to $1000 USD, *see additional restrictions below)
  • Five (5) night stay at conference hotel
  • Conference registration fee waived
