Now Accepting Applications for the 2021 Diversity Scholarship Program
The Diversity Scholarship Program introduces new preservation leaders to the historic preservation community at the annual PastForward conference, hosted each year by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The primary objective of this program is to support conference participation reflecting the diverse nature of America.
The Diversity Scholarship Program honors diversity by providing scholarship opportunities to historically underrepresented groups in the historic preservation profession and in its leadership positions, including ethnicity, race, gender and gender identification, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic background. Those who identify with one or more of these groups are eligible for the Diversity Scholarship. Diverse preservation professionals, students, and/or volunteers are all encouraged to apply.
All diversity scholars and the first 50 mentors will receive complimentary registration for PastForward Online, November 3rd - 5th, 2021. Selected scholars and mentors will receive information about their acceptance, mentor/scholar-cohort pairings, and how to register for the conference no later than Friday, September 3rd, 2021.
