AG Bell is gearing up for its 2012 Convention, June 28-July 2, at the Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz. AG Bell recognizes that young families with a child who is deaf or hard of hearing have extra financial pressures. AG Bell is once again offering its Family Scholarship Program for deserving families who have never attended an AG Bell Convention to access information and network with other families. The application deadline is February 29, 2012. Families awarded a scholarship will receive:

• One full 2012 Convention registration (includes up to two badges for adult family members).
• Up to two registrations for the 2012 Children's Program. This program is for children from infancy through age 14.
• One hotel room with two double beds for up to four nights between June 28 and July 2, 2012, at the Westin Kierland Resort.

The family is responsible for all travel arrangements, long distance as well as local, and food and entertainment outside of what is provided through Convention registration. Visit the AG Bell website to learn more and download an application packet.
