Local Foundations Give Scholarship Gifts to MPA Program
The Cemala, Bryan, Weaver, and Toleo Foundations, along with the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro have provided over $150,000 for the next three years of scholarships, internships, and fellowships for graduate students in the MPA and Nonprofit Management Certificate Programs. We are grateful to these five local foundations for their support of the program and its students.
MPA students enrolled in any concentration (Local Government Mangement, Community & Economic Development, or Nonprofit Management) or graduate students enrolled in the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Nonprofit Management who work (Full-time or Part-time) for a Guilford County government or nonprofit (501(c)3) agency are eligible to apply for Greensboro Foundations Scholarships (See Financial Aid). While scholarship awards will be made primarily to part-time students who are employed full-time in Guilford County government or nonprofit agencies, selected full-time students will receive a combined work stipend for part-time work in a Guilford County government or nonprofit agency and scholarship award. Students must be enrolled either as a part-time or full-time student depending on the type of scholarship. Preference will be given to students who are not reimbursed by their agencies. Funds will be allocated in equal amounts paid in Fall and Spring Semesters. The total for the year also covers enrollment in Summer Session. Scholarship awards are competitive and will be based on considerations or merit and need.
