The CARH Scholarship Foundation is currently accepting applications for the 2015 James L. Poehlman, Gordon L. Blackwell, Jack Godin, Jr. and CRHD Founders Scholarships!  Applications must be received by the Scholarship Foundation no later than April 30, 2015.

The Scholarship Foundation is providing four scholarships to deserving residents of CARH-member affordable rural housing properties. Each scholarship will be $1,000 per semester for educational expenses, with a maximum four years of funding. In addition, the Foundation will present to the managers of complexes where there is a successful scholarship recipient, $250 plus recognition in CARH's publications and website!

Qualified applicants must be a resident of a CARH-member property; a U.S. citizen or permanent legal resident; be a candidate for a high school diploma or equivalent; demonstrate scholastic or work achievement; demonstrate financial need; and be accepted or currently enrolled, as a full-time student at an accredited 2- or 4-year college, university or a vocational educational school. (Please note, a property is considered to be a "CARH-member property" if it is under the management/ownership of a national CARH member and the annual Property Training & Education Fee has been paid for that property.)

There are two types of applications for scholarships:

• Application for Traditional Students – This application is for those students/individuals, who are currently candidates for high school graduation or within the past five years received a high school diploma (or equivalent)

 

• Application for Non-Traditional Students – This application is for students/individuals, with a high school diploma or equivalent, who have previously been out of school for five years or more

 

Please encourage your residents to apply!

This is the 10^th year that the Scholarship Foundation has awarded scholarships. This year's recipients will be presented at a special Awards Luncheon during CARH's 2015 Annual Meeting and Legislative Conference which will be held June 14-16, 2015.

If you have any questions, please contact the CARH National Office at 703-837-9001 or carh@carh.org.
