The CHF is offering 21 scholarships at $1,200 each to for the winter 2013 program, which covers approximately two-thirds of the total program cost.
The CHF and the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Calgary have developed a certificate program to help front-line employees and volunteers work towards helping people end their homelessness. Through this Certificate you will be introduced to a variety of approaches and practices, and gain a broader understanding of homelessness through an analysis on current trends in the homeless-serving sector.
Register online through the University of Calgary.
The University of Calgary will be administering the scholarships on the CHF's behalf. Please note that registering for the program and applying for the scholarship are two separate processes.
