Scholarship Program
Conference scholarships are intended to remove financial barriers for those who would otherwise be unable to attend, allowing us to include additional voices vital to the affordable housing conversation. A limited number of partial and full scholarships for registration and/or lodging are available for individuals. Scholarship applications will be evaluated based upon the strength of the application and demonstrated financial need.
Eligibility & Details:
Scholarships are available to anyone interested in attending our annual Housing Colorado Conference who meet the below eligibility.
- Partial scholarships are intended to cover part of the cost of attending the conference and may be applied to either registration or conference hotel lodging. The committee may also choose to allocate full scholarships (covering conference registration fee and up to two nights’ lodging) at the committee’s discretion.
- No more than three scholarships will be awarded to one organization.
- We encourage applicants who represent diverse communities and backgrounds to apply for this scholarship.
- If awarded a scholarship, it is assigned to the individual and not the organization and cannot be split or changed without approval from Housing Colorado.
Criteria:
Scholarships will be awarded based on alignment with priorities established by the Housing Colorado Board of Directors and applicants’ contributions to Housing Colorado. Specifically, preference will be given to applicants who meet the following criteria:
- Employment at a non-profit
- Organizations with a limited affordable housing budget
- Residents of affordable housing who are leaders or emerging leaders in their community
- Young Professionals/students/individuals new to the industry
- First-time attendees
- 2026 Housing Colorado Conference speakers
