 $100,000 in Regional Scholarships Available

One tangible benefit of the SHRM Foundation is its support of scholarships for SHRM members. The Regional Scholarship Program will award scholarships annually totaling $100,000. The awards program is designed to assist working SHRM members in meeting their professional development goals. SHRM members pursuing a college degree or professional certification are eligible to apply for either a $1300 education scholarship or a $600 certification scholarship. Twelve scholarships will be awarded in each of the five domestic regions (Northeast, Southeast, North Central, Southwest Central, and Pacific West regions), so applicants compete only with members in their own area. (Members outside the U.S. are also eligible to apply.)

The application deadline is in July each year. You must be a National SHRM member to apply. Student members and non-shrm members belonging to local chapters only are also not eligible.

Please contact Lisa Gardner, Southeast Regional Coordinator, if you have questions.

These scholarships are made possible by your generous support of the SHRM Foundation. Award applications and information are available online at: www.shrm.org/foundation/EducationGrants.asp
