As of Feb. 18, we are no longer accepting Financial Aid applications for Spring Lobby Weekend 2022. If you are part of a delegation that has been in talks with FCNL’s young adult program for assistance to attend Spring Lobby Weekend, please be in touch with Larissa@fcnl.org.
FCNL offers a limited amount of financial assistance to young adults. Applications for financial assistance will be open until March 2, 2022 or until our financial aid budget is exhausted, whichever comes first.
This assistance is based on a combination of factors including need, travel costs, housing costs, and responses to the questions in our financial assistance surveys. Award amounts are specific to each person.
Because Spring Lobby Weekend is already a costly event for the organization, we ask that all applicants for assistance first look into the possibility of receiving financial support from other sources, including their meeting, church, school, family, etc., before appealing to FCNL. For example, attendees who are students have had success in approaching political science departments on their campus for funding.
Please note that due to the limits of our budget and our desire to stretch funding as far as possible, we give a strong preference to group financial aid over individual financial aid. Additionally, preference is given to groups and individuals who also pursue outside fundraising in order to stretch our budget to as many people as possible.
The review process for financial aid will begin in January 2022.
