Grassroots & Groundwork 2008 scholarships

Applications are now being accepted for Grassroots & Groundwork 2008 scholarships. Two types of scholarships are available:

(1) up to $300 to cover your conference registration fee, and

(2) up to half of your estimated travel expenses.

If you are from a community of 50,000 or fewer residents, a tribal reservation, or a nonprofit with an organization or program budget of less than $500,000 annually, you may be eligible for one or both scholarships. Your odds of receiving a scholarship are better if you apply early, as scholarships are awarded to eligible applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until May 9, 2008, or until all funds have been distributed. Applications are being handled by the National Rural Funders Collaborative.
