scholarships

We have two exciting scholarship opportunities available: the Build Your Career Scholarship and Project One Scholarship!

Build Your Career Scholarship

Thanks to the generosity of founding donors Bill and Donna Kenney, the Build Your Career Scholarship program is for qualified students living in a Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region home. This scholarship program provides up to $2,000 in scholarship funds each year to one or more eligible students.

If you’re a qualifying family and are interested in more information about the Build Your Career Scholarship, please contact Miranda Morris at mmorris@habitatCLTregion.org.

Project One Scholarships

Project One offers scholarships to students who are Mecklenburg County residents planning to attend a North Carolina public university and have a high school GPA of 3.0 or higher. Recipients must demonstrate initiative and come from a family with a household income at or below 200 percent of poverty rate. Students are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  The application cycle typically starts in November and is due at the beginning of March.  If you or someone you know may qualify, you can visit projectonescholars.org or reach out to Sydney Metcalf at smetcalf@habitatCLTregion.org.

Partner Agencies

Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region believes that, together, we can all accomplish more! We are proud to partner with various agencies around the community to better serve our neighbors.

If you believe your organization or agency would be a good fit to partner with Habitat Charlotte Region, please email Mary English-Tri at menglish@habitatCLTregion.org.

Here are just a few of our dedicated partner agencies:

E2D is a nonprofit organization that works to ensure students have the at-home technology they need to be successful in school and beyond. Habitat Charlotte Region and E2D have partnered since 2018 to present a laptop computer to families who have school-aged children in the home at the time of their new home dedication.

With the ever-increasing need for skilled tradespeople in our area, Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region is excited to partner with Mitchell Community College and the Iredell Community Foundation on this hands-on learning opportunity.  This collaboration pairs the expertise of Gibson Electric and Mitchell Community College students’ eagerness to learn the electrical trade to benefit the community through work on new Habitat for Humanity homes, starting with the Fall 2019 academic year.

For more information on the Mitchell Community College Workforce Development Program, please contact Miranda Morris at mmorris@habitatCLTregion.org.

Sometimes a family working to achieve a more sustainable housing solution needs a decent place to live while on that path. Hope to Home is a collaborative effort by Habitat Charlotte Region, the Ada Jenkins Center and the Hope House Foundation to provide lasting solutions to housing instability through education, supportive services and in some cases, transitional housing.

For more information, please contact Miranda Morris at mmorris@habitatCLTregion.org.
