September 20-23, 2026
New Orleans, Louisiana
Catholic Extension Society is accepting applications for a scholarship for one diocesan-level representative to attend the 2026 International Catholic Stewardship Council Conference, scheduled for September 20-23 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
This scholarship is intended for a single diocesan-level representative. Scholarships will be considered at either full (airfare, hotel, and conference registration) or partial (conference registration and/or hotel), with greater consideration given to applications requesting only partial sponsorship. Meals and any other costs associated with attending this event are the responsibility of the diocese and not covered by Catholic Extension Society.
Catholic Extension Society will host a workshop for Extension Diocese attendees at the conference. Any recipient of this scholarship is expected to be in attendance, and disbursement of scholarship funds is dependent on attendance.
Steps and timelines for the 2026 ICSC scholarship process:
- Register for the 2026 ICSC Conference by clicking here. Your scholarship application with Catholic Extension Society does not automatically register you for the conference. You must register separately with ICSC.

Catholic Extension Society does not reimburse for additional baggage fees, upgrades, or additional family member’s travel. If you need to travel by any other method than purchasing a flight, please contact us before submitting your application to receive advance approval. If you are driving to the conference instead of flying, Catholic Extension Society will reimburse the trip at $72.5 cents per mile.
