NIIC SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

As part of our commitment to ensuring the broadest participation possible at NIIC, we provide a cohort of Scholarships for each conference. The Scholarship awards vary year-to-year based on our funding and budget capacity. 

NIIC 2024 Greater Houston Area / Texas Scholarships

To support the involvement of grassroots groups working in our host region, a special cohort of 80 scholarships for Texas-based groups is available for NIIC 2024. Groups working in the Greater Houston area – as well as those from across Texas – will be considered. Priority will be given to grantees of the Houston Endowment, and Texas-based organizations with a budget of $750,000 or less, but all Texas-based organizations are encouraged to apply. Scholarships are available for up to 2-attendees per organization.  

In tandem with these scholarships, a limited number of hotel rooms for those traveling from more than 40 miles from the conference location are available. This travel support is a 2-night stay (Sun Dec 8-Tues Dec 10) at NIIC’s venue the Hilton Americas-Houston.

To apply, please fill out this form by the extended deadline of October 7, 2024.

Scholarship awards will be made and all applicants notified by October 15, 2024.
