Mail your complete IBLCE Application and your MILCC Application together, directly to IBLCE at the IBLCE Office address (see Applications).

For your MILCC Application to be considered, you MUST attach:

• Your complete IBLCE Exam Application or your complete Recertification Application, with all required accompanying materials. If you are an applicant for initial certification, you must have completed all IBLCE eligibility requirements (including background courses, lactation education, and practice hours) at the time you send your exam application, otherwise the MILCC application cannot be considered.
• Your complete MILCC Scholarship Application form, with supporting documents. MILCC cannot assess your application without a detailed presentation about your family income and circumstances, as well as detailed information about your paid and/or voluntary work. It is in your best interests to provide sufficient information and documentation to prove and support your case. You should include appropriate documents showing family income (e.g., recent tax returns, assessments, or documents showing current income). If your tax return/assessment for the most recent year has not been prepared at the time of your application, you could include a copy of the previous year’s return /assessment with copies of recent payslips indicating the current year’s family income. If necessary, include a declaration outlining your family circumstances, signed before a Commissioner for Declarations, Justice of the Peace, or equivalent. In all documents, the currency must be clearly indicated. State also if you have received other funding in relation to IBLCE certification or recertification.

NOTE: A MILCC Application is active only for the year you apply to take the IBLCE exam and cannot be deferred to another year. All MILCC applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by June 1. An unfunded applicant may choose to proceed with her/his exam application at her/his own expense, at the early exam fee rate, or may decide to wait and apply again in a later year.

Any applicant who receives assistance may be requested to complete a survey form about her/his lactation consultant practice for one (1) year following receipt of her/his exam results. Application for a scholarship constitutes agreement to complete such a survey.

An applicant who does not show up on exam day will deny others the ability to receive financial support.
