The scholarship application deadline has passed. Scholarship recipients will be notified by September 10, 2010.
General Scholarship Guidelines are as follows:
- Scholarships will be awarded based on need. Priority will be given to individuals and organizations working to involve citizens in transportation and land-use issues and to students planning to work on these issues.
- Rail~Volution awards predominantly partial scholarships in order to offer funding to a larger number of people. This, coupled with the home-stay program, is the most efficient way conference organizers could see to aid activists and advocates in reducing the costs of attendance.
- Rail~Volution sponsors encourage individuals from across the country and from the Portland region to attend this conference. Scholarships can be used to assist with the conference registration fee and, in some cases, travel expenses. For out-of-town scholarship recipients who are interested, we will attempt to arrange home-stays with a community member from Portland area.

Scholarship Application Deadline: August 20, 2010.
Will a scholarship include mobile workshops?
No, unfortunately the fees for the workshops, charrettes, and symposia are in place to ensure commitment of your attendance and cannot be waived.
How many scholarships will be awarded?
At this time it is uncertain, we are currently fundraising to provide funding for this scholarship program. The final number will depend on how much we raise. We definitely encourage you to submit an application.
