GPLH is pleased to offer the Founder’s Scholarship Fund, which will provide one-year memberships to GPLH.
The scholarships are made possible by a generous contribution from Lydia Howie, President of Howie Grant Writing & Consulting, LLC, and GPLH founder. Lydia sought to create an organization that would bring grant writers and aspiring grant writers together to provide educational events and networking opportunities as well as raise the profile of the grant writing as a skill-based profession.
Scholarship eligibility
Scholarships are available for up to one year to potential members who can show significant financial need and a desire to network with grant writers in a multitude of fields. Preference will be given to new members or those currently unemployed.
Scholarship recipients are expected to serve on a committee and attend webinars and Connections Calls throughout the year.
