Scholarships are available through various funds to provide assistance in reducing the cost of registration to the NACCC’s annual youth conference – NAPF\/HOPE. Scholarships are awarded according to available funds and can be used to cover part or all of the registration fee to attend the conference. One such scholarship is the Lynn Merkel & Joanne Simpson NAPF\/HOPE Scholarship, created in 2018 and named to honor the tireless work and the many years of leadership that Lynn Merkel and Joanne Simpson gave to the youth ministry of the NACCC.<\/p>\n

We also encourage you to check with your state or regional association for scholarships that might be available to support attendance of the NAPF\/HOPE conference as well as for mission trips and other events.<\/p>\n
