The Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership Center offers scholarships to member organizations, which are made possible through the generosity of the Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation and the Jessie Ball duPont Fund. We strongly encourage organizations to consider their capacity development needs when applying, as scholarships can be awarded to more than one individual.

Instructions

Please complete the Philanthropy Center Scholarship Application Form (PDF). This form must be completed each time your organization requests scholarship funding for a workshop. We suggest applying early in order to guarantee a place in the workshop. Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Workshops are subject to closure once they reach capacity limits. Notification of scholarship acceptance and further instructions will be sent via email.
