Webinar Recording: Transforming Community Foundation Scholarship Programs from Administrative Burdens to Strategic Assets

With the Stanislaus Community Foundation, National College Access Network (NCAN), and the Council on Foundations' Legal Team and Director of Community Philanthropy, this webinar explores key findings from a recent white paper published by NCAN on the topic of scholarships, discusses in-depth and resourceful approaches to scholarship programs and their administration, and much more.
