Scholarship Applications Now Open

FICPFM is proud to offer a limited number of need-based scholarships for the 2026 Regional Convenings. Scholarships are intended to help reduce financial barriers for directly impacted leaders, organizers, advocates, and community members who would not otherwise be able to attend.

Scholarship applications close on June 8.

Awards may cover registration and hotel accommodations for the convening. Please note that travel is not included.
