2008 Grassroots Conference Scholarship Application

We are excited that you plan to join us in Columbus, Ohio, from June 20 to 22 for Jubilee's 3rd Annual Grassroots Training & Action Conference!

Scholarship requests will be considered on a rolling basis. The earlier we get your request, the more likely it is that we can help you. It is to your advantage to get your request in as soon as possible.

Once the scholarship money is gone, it's gone. So please apply today!

PLEASE NOTE: This is a need-based scholarship for those needing assistance to travel to the 2008 Jubilee Grassroots Conference in Columbus, OH. We only have a limited amount of funding available and urge you to raise money locally to cover some of your travel costs. Scholarship recipients are expected to take advantage of free housing options and home stays arranged by Jubilee USA. Scholarships are not available to those electing to stay in a hotel.

If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please contact Brian Swarts at 202-441-6763 or brian(at)jubileeusa.org.
