Scholarship Opportunities for Residents of Federally Assisted Low Income Housing

Writer's picture: FCRHAFCRHA

The National Leased Housing Association (NLHA) administers an Education Fund which awards education grants and scholarships to low-income individuals residing in federally assisted rental housing – this includes housing subsidized through programs such as the Housing Choice Voucher program, or properties that have been awarded federal low-income housing tax credits. For complete program details, please visit https://hudnlha.com/education-fund/.


The NLHA offers four types of scholarships. Students must decide on only ONE of the scholarship opportunities listed below:

  • AIR CARES COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIP which is directed to eligible applicants who are graduating high school seniors or current undergraduates who demonstrate both merit and need to pursue an undergraduate degree.

  • WILLIAM F. GANDERT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP which benefits an eligible graduating high school senior or returning student who demonstrates both merit and need to pursue educational opportunities in a specific trade or vocation.

  • MARY LOU MANZIE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP designed to benefit a non-traditional student by providing eligible applicants who demonstrate both merit and need, a chance to pursue higher education or other training that will lead to better employment opportunities.

  • NEIL CHURCHILL MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP intended for eligible applicants who are graduating college and pursuing graduate level study (or otherwise seeking a graduate education) who demonstrate both merit and need.
