The VBCOA scholarship amount of $1425 may be expended for associated ICC conference registration, accommodation, transportation, and/or sustenance. VBCOA scholarship recipients shall be individually responsible to directly submit their ICC conference registration and to secure any associated ICC conference accommodation, transportation, sustenance, and necessities.
