The Society for College and University Planning recognizes that professional development and travel budgets are being reduced or cut at many institutions. We believe that during tough times it is more important than ever to invest in education and to reach out to colleagues to help find solutions. To that end, we are offering a program to provide a limited number of SCUP Professional Development Assistance scholarships to help underwrite costs associated with participating in SCUP regional events.

The program will occur in conjunction with the 2010 Southern Regional Conference on October 17–19 in Charleston, SC, with scholarships up to $500.00 towards registration or travel expenses. Click here for more information on the 2010 Southern Regional Conference.

Eligibility

Applicants for this scholarship must be currently employed at a public, private, or professional institution or system of higher education for at least one year and demonstrate financial need that would otherwise prohibit conference attendance. Note: You do not have to be a SCUP member to receive this scholarship.

Notification of Selection

Applicants will receive notification of their selection on or before, September 29, 2010. 

Questions that will be asked in your application:

1. Identify your need for this scholarship, e.g. registration, travel (include an estimated travel budget if requesting travel assistance), $500.00 maximum award. Note: We will honor the early-bird conference registration fee when processing the scholarship awards.
2. Why are you interested in attending?
3. How will you use information from this conference in your work? Please be specific.
4. Give us a brief list of your job responsibilities.
