Scholarships

The Virginia Governor's Housing Conference connects Virginia's affordable housing providers with funders, lenders, realtors, nonprofits, public officials and resources to improve housing in Virginia's communities. 

 

The partners of the Virginia Governor's Housing Conference have set aside funds to be used as scholarships for nonprofit organizations, local governments and students. Nonprofit organizations, local governments and students are an important part of the delivery of housing and community development services, but due to budget restraints, may not be able to attend the conference. Student scholarships will be geared toward those students who are majoring or interested in the delivery of housing or sheltering services, community or economic development or other appropriate activities designed to sustain healthy and safe communities. Scholarships cover the cost of the conference registration only.


Scholarship applications for 2024 will open in July 2024.

Testimonial
Being able to attend the Virginia Governor's Housing Conference as a college student was invaluable for my future because I got to see first hand the work being done in the Commonwealth of Virginia to end homelessness and address poverty. I was able to attend sessions with panels consisting of front line staff and community advocates. This experience helped solidify my desire to enter the field and become a part of the fight.
