Scholarship

Click here for the 2011 Scholarship Applicaiton

History:
The first scholarships, given in 2003, were made in memory of Brandy Stephens of Vermont. Brandy was NEADHVS President at the time of her death in January 2002.

Purpose:
Scholarships are awarded to NEADHVS members who need assistance to attend our annual spring conference.  The amount of the scholarship will cover the entire cost of the conference tuition unless a lower amount is requested.  (Tuition does not include travel costs, hotel costs, supplemental meals, etc.)  The number of scholarships given will be based on the amount of money in the scholarship funds and the number of qualified applicants.

Selection:
The Scholarship Award Committee consists of the President, President-elect and Treasurer. All applications that meet the criteria will be considered.  

The Treasurer will transfer the funds from the scholarship account to the conference account. Checks will not be given to the recipient.

The deadline for submitting the application is April 1, 2011 with notification of the award made by April 15th.

To be considered for a NEADHVS scholarship, the applicant must:

1. Be an active NEADHVS member for two fiscal cycles in good standing.
2. Be employed in the field of volunteer management.
3. State the reason for scholarship request.
4. Cannot be the recipient of a state scholarship for the same conference
5. Cannot have received a scholarship for a conference within the last two calendar years.

 

If a member is notified that they will receive a scholarship but then will not be able to attend the conference we request that they notify the NEADHVS President as soon as possible so that those funds may be utilized by another member, if at all possible.
