ADHD2026 Scholarship Fund: Because the conference should be for everyone it serves
The ADHD2026 Scholarship provides financial assistance for community members who would otherwise be unable to attend the International Conference on ADHD. We’ve been uniting researchers, clinicians, and the ADHD community since 1988. This December in Baltimore, the Scholarship Fund is opening the door a little wider for 9 members of the ADHD community. Because the conference should be accessible to everyone who needs to be there—especially those who face financial barriers.
That's the mission behind the ADHD2026 Scholarship Fund.

How We Fund the Scholarships
The scholarship fund is supported by and designed for the ADHD community — people who believe this conference should be accessible to everyone who needs to be there. There are a few ways the fund grows each year. If you want to help someone get to Baltimore, here's how.
The ADHD2026 T-Shirt Design Contest
What if your creativity could get you into the conference and help someone else get there, too?
The ADHD2026 T-Shirt Contest is open through May 30, 2026. The winning design goes on the official ADHD2026 conference t-shirt — and when someone buys that shirt, they’re directly helping fund a scholarship for someone who couldn’t otherwise afford to attend.

FAQs
The scholarship fund helps people in the ADHD community attend the International Conference on ADHD when cost would otherwise be a barrier. Funds raised through t-shirt sales, registration add-ons, and direct donations go directly toward covering conference registration — and this year, hotel costs for two recipients.
Each scholarship covers full conference registration, valued at approximately $500. Two recipients will also receive a hotel stipend to help with lodging costs during the conference in Baltimore.
All proceeds from t-shirt sales and scholarship fund contributions go directly to the ADHD2026 Scholarship Fund. Every dollar raised helps cover registration — and in two cases, hotel — for scholarship recipients.
The application deadline is August 7, 2026. We encourage early applications.
Scholarship recipients will be notified before the earliest early bird registration deadline, so they have time to plan travel and accommodations.
There are three ways to support the scholarship fund: buy the official ADHD2026 t-shirt featuring the winning contest design, add a contribution when you register for the conference, or donate directly through the scholarship fund page.
