Please follow these guidelines when applying:

Applicants should have extremely limited financial resources or work with an organization that has extremely limited financial resources. No more than one individual from an organization may receive scholarship support, with one exception: if scholarships have been awarded to all viable candidates and funds are still available, a second participant may receive a scholarship. Scholarships cannot be transferred or shared.  Applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. on July 31, 2009.

Scholarship recipients will be notified during the week of August 19, 2009. All applicants who meet the criteria but do not receive a scholarship will be eligible for the early registration fee of $230. Payment must be received by September 15, 2009, to qualify for the early rate exception. Conference program information will soon be available on this website. Registration brochures and online registration will be available in mid-June.

Conference presenters, the Washington State Housing Finance Commission and the Washington State Office of Community, Trade and Economic Development, are pleased to offer these scholarships, and wish to recognize our conference sponsors whose support enables us to extend this program.

If you have any questions about scholarships, please call Stacie Hart at Event Dynamics, Inc., 206-935-0988, or email conf@wshfc.org.
