Student Chapter Registration and Travel Grants

The Animal Legal Defense Fund will be offering Registration and Travel Grants to the Student Convention and the Animal Law Conference co-presented by the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the Center for Animal Law Studies. The Animal Law Conference will take place October 18-20, 2024, in Portland, Oregon. Please read carefully as the grants have changed.

The Registration and Travel Grants are awarded on an individual basis and will include free student registration to the Animal Law Conference (not including the Saturday evening banquet) and $500 towards your hotel stay at the Conference hotel. There will be no reimbursements for expenses paid by a student directly. The Animal Legal Defense Fund will book your hotel accommodations for Thursday–Saturday night and will pay $500 to the hotel up front, the student will be responsible upon arrival for any additional hotel fees over $500.

Students selected for the Registration and Travel Grants will need to confirm their acceptance of the Grant and intention to attend the Conference by September 20, 2024, so that hotel accommodations can be made. Students who receive a Registration and Travel Grant will also be required to attend the Student Convention on Friday, October 18, unless they have sought an exception. If a student receives a Registration and Travel Grant and does not attend the Animal Law Conference or Student Convention, the student will be responsible for reimbursing the Animal Legal Defense Fund for the costs of registration and the $500 provided towards their hotel accommodations, and the student will be ineligible for future Animal Legal Defense Fund Animal Law Program opportunities. Exceptions will be made for legitimate reasons, including but not limited to, illness and family emergencies.

Law students must be an Animal Legal Defense Fund Student Chapter member to be eligible for the grant. The deadline to apply is September 8, 2024.

Students will hear back by September 13, 2024. Please refrain from registering for the Conference until you have heard back. For any questions, please contact Alyssa Crowell at acrowell@aldf.org.
