The American Society of Criminology is happy to announce that childcare grants of $250 per family are available to assist ASC member participants who are attending the Washington, DC Annual Meeting in-person and bringing young children.

The application portal will be open from September 1st until September 30th. We will provide support for up to 40 families. The grant recipients will be chosen by lottery. If less than 40 families apply, then no lottery will be necessary.

Please note the following:

• Must be a 2025 ASC member before applying
• Must be registered for the Annual Meeting before applying
• Must be attending the San Francisco Annual Meeting in-person and bringing your own young children (aged 14 or under)
• Must be participating in the meeting as a session chair and/or a presenter (ie, panel, roundtable, lightning session, author meets critic, poster).
• Only one parent of a child/children may apply for the grant.

Please note that there are no ASC sponsored childcare services on-site. Due to the uniqueness of each family, ASC neither sanctions nor recommends any particular childcare provider. We recommend using a search engine to research for a childcare provider that best fits your family’s needs.

Contact the ASC Executive Office at asc@asc41.org ; 614-826-2000 per any questions.
