Apply soon! Sponsorships are now available to all high school students thanks to the Hampton Roads chapter of the Military Order of World Wars. These spots are limited until all available seats are filled.
The sponsorships include lodging, meals, snacks, classes, three historic tours, class t-shirts, and all conference materials.
We have local organizations that set aside funds for educational programs that we can ask to assist with financial support. Funding sources include your local Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW) chapter, the Kiwanis International, the Lions Club International, and your local church or Boy/Girl Scout Association.
Your only expense will be traveling to and from the conference location and students are asked to bring their own bedding and toiletries for overnight accommodation. Do not let funding prevent you from applying to AIYLC. Contact the AIYLC Director for additional financial aid information.
