Neighborhood Leadership Academy
LIVABLE communities don’t just HAPPEN. They are CREATED by the PEOPLE who live in them.
Scholarship Information – 2013
Thank you for your interest in participating in the 2013 Neighborhood Leadership
Academy. Please know that it costs approximately $1,000 per participant to run the
Neighborhood Leadership Academy. We are pleased to have financial support from the
University of Missouri–St. Louis and University Extension that allows us to lower the
registration fee and provide scholarships when needed.
In an effort to fairly distribute scholarships we ask that you complete the attached
Scholarship Request Form. A limited number of partial scholarships are available and
will be awarded at the end of January. We do not award full scholarships. Scholarships
granted are $200 off the registration fee of $400.
We encourage scholarship applicants to first seek out local funding sources wherever
possible. Past participants have received financial support through their neighborhood
association, alderman or city council, agency that they work for, and through
government or nonprofit agencies that have worked with their neighborhood.
Scholarships will be awarded based upon the following priorities:
1) Neighborhood volunteers who demonstrate individual financial need;
2) Paid staff at community-based organizations, with relatively small
organizational budgets, who demonstrate financial need.
Completed Scholarship Request forms should be completed online or sent to Diana
Rehagen at the address listed below.

The NLA has a limited number of scholarships available. Our intention is to provide financial
support for those individuals who cannot afford to pay the registration fee and therefore without
a scholarship they would not be able to participate.
1) What is your financial need?
(How much can you afford, can you make a payment plan, etc.?)
2) What resources in your community have you sought out for financial support to
participate in the NLA?
3) How will you and your community benefit from your participation in the
Neighborhood Leadership Academy?
4) Who will pay for your NLA registration fee?
(You, your neighborhood organization, both?)
