Congratulations 2025 NAHRO-LDG Scholars and Merit Scholars!

August 5, 2025 — NAHRO is pleased to announce the winners of the 2025 NAHRO-LDG Scholarship and NAHRO College Merit Scholarship!

Established in 2019, the NAHRO-LDG Scholarship is a 10-year venture providing $1 million in scholarships and internship opportunities, funded by award-winning multi-family housing developer LDG Development.

Each NAHRO-LDG scholar receives a $12,000 scholarship, distributed over 4 years, as well as opportunities to receive up to $9,000 in stipends for summer internships or activities supporting their academic requirements.
