ILAPSC Policies and Documents

The Illinois Association of Problem-Solving Courts (ILAPSC) is committed to providing high quality training and education programs at an affordable price. Attendees who would like to attend an ILAPSC training program but are unable to afford the registration fee may apply for a full or partial waiver of the registration fee. For courses costing over $500, any attendee that qualifies for assistance will receive at least a 50% reduction in the course fee. Attendees may submit a letter requesting assistance. Said letter from the requesting attendee must clearly demonstrate the financial hardship and state the specific amount of the waiver sought. The letter must be signed by the requesting attendee, state the training or conference they wish to attend, and be received by the ILAPSC office at least 15 days prior to the commencement of the course. The granting of a waiver is strictly at the discretion of the ILAPSC board and will be awarded only to qualified attendees on a case-by-case basis and only when space is available.

Correspondence should be sent to Matthew Kindler, Conference Coordinator, Illinois Association of Problem-Solving Courts, 1643 N. Alpine Road, Suite 104, Rockford, Illinois 61107 or ilapsc@ilapsc.org.
