Scholarships
Click here for information about applying for scholarships.
Scholarships are offered to those who need financial assistance through NASCO in partnership with the Ralph K. Morris Foundation. These scholarships are funded by donations from private individuals and cooperative organizations. Scholarship distribution prioritizes individuals who have limited financial resources and hail from co-ops which also have limited resources. In an effort to increase leadership and involvement among traditionally underrepresented groups at Institute and within NASCO's membership-people of color, genderqueer and transgender people, and people with disabilities-applicants in financial need and identifying with the mentioned groups will also be given priority.
The last day to apply for a scholarship is September 18th. Scholarship recipients will be notified by September 29th. Please visit our website to view scholarship options and submit an application.
Many NASCO member co-ops offer their own scholarships and arrange travel for their members to attend Institute. Contact your co-op office to inquire about these scholarships.
