BCoD Conference Scholarship Program
Expanding access to BCoD 2026 for biologic coordinators ready to grow, connect, and advance their impact. Apply for ScholarshipView Conference DetailsBCoD Conference Scholarship Program
BCoD is dedicated to empowering biologic coordinators by offering high-quality educational programs and meaningful networking opportunities. We want to ensure every BC has the knowledge and resources needed to support patient access in dermatology. Although the registration fee for our Annual Conference is minimal and covers all educational sessions, meals, and networking receptions, we recognize that travel expenses can still be a barrier for some.
The BCoD Conference Scholarship Fund provides scholarships for BCoD members to attend BCoD’s Annual Conference. Resources are limited and we ask that those who apply have explored alternative opportunities for funding assistance.
