While we want to include access for as many marginalized folk as we can - at this time you must be BIPOC to apply for the scholarship. Please do not apply if you are not.
There is no separate application . When you apply for training indicate if you are applying for a scholarship and which one.
Scholarships are given on a first come first serve basis. If you do not make your desired training we will contact you for the next training if when there is an available scholarship .
