The ‘Young ICCA – Chiomenti’, ‘Young ICCA – Chaffetz Lindsey’, and ‘Young ICCA – MCL Arbitration’ Scholarships
Young ICCA is pleased to offer three Scholarships, each valued at EUR 1500, that will allow the recipients the opportunity to participate in the programme for free. The Young ICCA Scholarships, established in cooperation respectively with Chiomenti, Chaffetz Lindsey, and MCL Arbitration, will cover the full registration fee (EUR 950 for practitioners, and EUR 800 for students) and provide limited additional funding, to facilitate the recipients’ travel arrangements.
In granting the Scholarships, priority will be given to candidates from historically disadvantaged or underrepresented (minority) groups, including in relation to age, colour, disability, ethnicity, gender, indigenous origin, race, religion, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status.
For each candidate, a single application will suffice to be considered for all three Scholarships. To apply, Young ICCA members must submit (in the form of a single PDF): a) a letter of motivation expressing their interest in participating in the Certificate, including a description of their arbitration experience (maximum 400 words); and b) a resume or CV.
Scholarship applications should be submitted to Young ICCA Scholarships Co-Directors Kieran McCarthy and Chizaram Mbah by Friday 3 October, via the following email addresses:

The ‘Young ICCA – Chiomenti’, ‘Young ICCA – Chaffetz Lindsey’, and ‘Young ICCA – MCL Arbitration’ Scholarships are intended to establish a lasting cooperation between Young ICCA and the Certificate. Young ICCA, together with Chiomenti, Chaffetz Lindsey, and MCL Arbitration, will continue to renew the Scholarships for at least one further edition of the programme.
