About the program
The CGBG Advanced Training Scholarship Program was designed to incentivize advanced training across the building industry in Colorado.
By increasing the skills and certifications of our local building professionals we can help increase the resilience of our communities, reduce embodied and operational carbon impacts of the built environment, improve the air quality, health, and comfort of buildings.
How does it work?
Individuals apply for funding for a specified training program. Each applicant is asked how much funding they are applying for (5%-90% of program costs will be considered). If a scholarship is awarded, CGBG will provide funds directly to the training affiliate on behalf of the applicant. The scholarship does not provide funding for travel or board associated with training, and does not reimburse costs for programs or certifications already completed.
What kind of programs qualify?
Training programs can take many forms, but must fit within the general mission of the Colorado Green Building Guild to lower the embodied and operational carbon impact of the built environment. Topics covered may include, but are not limited to:

How do you evaluate applications?
All applications are reviewed by a subcommittee made up of CGBG Board Members. Prior to review, personal and identifying information is removed from the applications including name and company information. The committee determines whether or not the application meets the mission and intent of the program, and if the training is well suited to the applicants professional role and experience level. From there the committee makes a recommendation for how much funding, if any, should be granted. Regardless of whether an application has been approved or denied, the board will contact the applicant via email. Applications can be denied for any reason without providing cause.
