VBCOA is sponsoring eight (8) scholarships of $2,100 each to attend the 2019 ICC Annual Conference and Group B Public Comment Hearings in Clark County, Nevada from October 20-30th, 2019. All active governmental and associate level VBCOA members in good standing are eligible to apply for the scholarships using the following link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ICCScholarshipForm

The scholarship application due date is 5:00PM August 30, 2019.

The VBCOA scholarship applications are evaluated and selected based upon responses to VBCOA scholarship application questions and narrative. Priority consideration may be granted to VBCOA members who serve in VBCOA official, regional, or committee leadership capacities and to those general VBCOA members who have never attended previous ICC conferences or not received prior VBCOA scholarship awards.

The VBCOA scholarship funds are intended to supplement and support roundtrip air/ground transportation, hotel accommodation, and meal per diem expenses. Any expenses incurred beyond the scholarship award are the responsibility of the attendee. There is a registration fee for the ICC Conference, however, there is no registration free for the 2019 ICC Public Comment Hearings.  VBCOA scholarship recipients are personally responsible to submit their ICC conference registration and to secure their air/ground transportation, hotel accommodation, and meals.

The VBCOA scholarship recipients are reasonably expected to attend and participate in all ICC code hearings, meetings, and events as applicable.

Please allow at least 7 calendar days for the VBCOA Awards and Resolutions Committee to consider and notify scholarship recipients after the close of the scholarship application period. Unfortunately, late VBCOA scholarship applications shall not be accepted or considered.
