Scholarship applications are reviewed holistically, and no single factor determines selection. The following considerations help guide our decision-making, particularly when we receive a high volume of applications:
Mission alignment
-
Does the applicant’s organization or role directly relate to affordable housing or ending homelessness?
Potential for Impact
-
Does the applicant’s organization actively engage communities that need affordable housing or homelessness resources, specifically underserved and underrepresented communities.
Previous Participation
-
Has the applicant attended the conference before or received a scholarship in the past? While prior participation does not disqualify applicants, it may be considered as one of several factors when making final decisions, especially when applications are otherwise comparable.
Geographic Diversity
-
Where is the applicant located? We may prioritize underrepresented regions, for example rural areas.
Financial Need
-
What is the financial need? We will prioritize community-based and non-profit organizations.
