2023 Conference Scholarship Application

For many years, Citygate Network has provided the "event of the year" for everyone engaged in life transformation ministry. Thousands have attended and been encouraged, educated, and inspired in their efforts to provide help and hope to poor and powerless people in their cities.

In addition to being a valuable service to members, the Annual Conference is an event that helps to fund Citygate Network. The revenue generated by the conference enables Citygate Network to keep membership dues down. Even though the association is dependent on a profitable conference, we realize that some missions may find it difficult to cover the costs of registration fees, lodging, and/or transportation. 

If you find yourself truly in need of scholarship assistance, please complete the application below, making sure that you meet the criteria. It is the preference of Citygate Network and our donors for your mission to pay a portion of the costs to ensure that everyone has "skin in the game."

Citygate Network is grateful for the companies, individuals, and districts that provide these scholarships. If you receive scholarship assistance, please know that it could come through a number of sources.

The scholarship application period is from February 15 to March 10, 2023. Please fill out the form below to submit your request by close of business on March 10. Email Stacie Hughes if you have any questions.

Scholarship Criteria

• You must be on staff, working full time (32-40 hours per week), at a member ministry that is current in its membership through the conference date.
• Your organization's operating budget must be under $2 million (Level A-G), unless you inform Citygate Network in writing of your special circumstances.
• One person may apply from each mission or ministry.
• If you have already registered for the conference, you may request partial travel/lodging assistance by filling out the form below. You must describe your reason for needing assistance in the Additional Comments section.
• You must have approval to attend from your executive director (or board chair for CEOs).
• Any and all unused scholarship money due to unexpected cancellations or travel changes must be returned to Citygate Network immediately.

Consideration Criteria

• First-time attendees (never before attended a Citygate Network conference) will be considered first for scholarship assistance.
• Organizations paying full price for one or more other staff to attend the conference will be given high priority in the consideration process.
• If your mission or ministry has received scholarship assistance for the past three years, it will not be eligible for a scholarship this year.
