Who is eligible?

If you are a student, unemployed individual, individuals with a passion for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in their respective communities, or an employee of a small business/nonprofit with a budget of $5 million or less, you may apply for a scholarship to attend the annual conference. Verification of eligibility is required, and scholarships are not awarded to Augsburg students.
