About the Creating Space Scholarships

The Creating Space Scholarship is an invitation to organizations that are BIPOC-led and serving, or an organization led by and serving a priority population as defined by the USBC CRASH Committee, that have a strong interest in supporting the mission of the USBC but have difficulty affording the full cost of USBC membership.

Membership scholarships are available to new member applicants on a case-by-case basis. Scholarship recipients receive complimentary organizational membership to the USBC for one full calendar year and the scholarship is renewable for up to five years, permitting funding.
