The LYLC is not solely a merit-based or need-based conference. We do not ask for G.P.A. requirements or transcripts. We believe everyone has a story to share, knowledge to contribute, and a future to be proud of.

Both applying to and attending the conference is completely FREE. All accommodations, meals, and conference materials are provided at NO COST to the student or their families.​
