We invite you to apply, or encourage a colleague to apply, for the John N. Lozier Scholarship for New Members. Please feel free to help those you encourage with the application.
Established in 2017, the John N. Lozier Scholarship for New Members is an award honoring the legacy of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council’s founding Executive Director, who retired in December 2016. The scholarship supports the registration fee, lodging, and related costs up to $1,000 for one individual to attend the annual National HCH Conference & Policy Symposium.
In addition to honoring Mr. Lozier, the purpose of this scholarship is to inspire health care professionals to sustain the HCH movement initiated by Mr. Lozier and other pioneers in the 1980s.
Whom Should Apply?
We encourage applications from hands-on providers, administrators, funders, and community partners. While there are no age restrictions, strong applicants will be early-to-mid-career professionals with relatively little experience in Health Care for the Homeless. The review committee may also give preference to applicants belonging to new Organizational Members of the Council.
Application Requirements
Eligible applicants must meet two criteria:
- They are employed by an Organizational Member of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council, and
- They have never attended any previous national conferences hosted by the National Health Care for the Homeless Council
