  • To be considered for a scholarship, a candidate must be a member in good standing at the time of the application. This means that dues and education credits are up to date. For instructors transferring from other divisions, a check will be made with the previous division to make sure that member is in good standing.
  • All persons who have been awarded a scholarship must write an article about the event they attended within thirty days of that event. This article will be submitted to John, Jodi and Barb for the newsletter.

  • A $150 scholarship maximum is in place for any single event. (For a certification exam, only one module).
