AKRI offers two different types of scholarships each year to help defray the cost of tuition and/or travel to participate in a group relations event. Scholarship recipients need not be associates (members) of AKRI to be eligible for funds.

Apply for a scholarship

The AKRI scholarship program is supported through a combination of individual donations to the National Scholarship Fund and annual income from a scholarship fund originally established as a tribute to Faith Gabelnick: the Gabelnick Global Community Connections Fund.

Make a donation to the scholarship fund

By donating to the scholarship fund, you support opportunities for others to attend AKRI group relations conferences or training and other events. If you would like to make a donation to the scholarship fund, click here.
