  • Agency must be certified by HUD independently.
  • Attending counselor must be employed by the agency.
  • Scholarships are issued on a first-come, first-served basis.

    • If scholarships are still available after all candidates have been considered, additional scholarships may be awarded to agencies that have already met the one-scholarship award limit. Agencies that have already met the one-scholarship award limit are immediately placed on a waitlist for consideration if this option becomes available.
