Selection Criteria:

The selection criteria will be primarily needs-based – please only apply if you currently do not have the financial means to join us otherwise. We will also consider a candidate's prior volunteer experience both with One Brick and with other non-profits.

Award:

One Brick will provide a cash award of up to $350 to help cover airfare. We will also cover the cost of lodging @Days Inn in a shared double queen bed room with breakfast included. 

Process: 

• Applicants should send an email to nola_fund@onebrick.org containing THREE short statements (of no more than 500 words).
  • The first sentence should tell us that you are interested in attending the Columbia SC trip.
  • The second statement should tell us why you are applying for the scholarship.
  • The third should give us a little information about your prior volunteer experiences.
• Deadline for applications: Oct 15th. Decision to be announced by Oct25th latest.
• The names of recipients will be kept anonymous if requested.
• After returning from the trip we ask that each recipient write a short article (no more than half a page) describing their experience on the trip. The article will be published on this website, in our newsletter and on social media. 

FAQ:

The award does not cover out of pocket expenses or the cost of transportation from the airport to the volunteer house or other local travel. We encourage people to carpool. If a volunteer receives a ride, we suggest they pay something towards the rental cost.

Can I make a donation to support the fund? Yes! We'd love to make more places available!
