Your SHRM Foundation at Work: HR Student Scholarships

by Marilyn Ceprano, SPHR

Each year, the SHRM Foundation provides $13,000 to support the development of future HR leaders through national student awards and scholarships. The Leonard R. Brice, SPHR, Undergraduate Leadership Award and the SHRM Foundation Graduate Student Leadership Award, presented each June, are designed to recognize and encourage the development of leadership skills in students preparing to enter the HR profession.

The SHRM Foundation Student Scholarships, awarded in the fall, recognize outstanding academic achievement. In recognition of the important work of SHRM chapter advisors to the student membership program, the Foundation sponsors the annual Advisor of the Year Award.

For more information on Foundation sponsored awards and scholarships, visit www.shrm.org/foundation, as applications for scholarships must be provided prior to March 1, 2005.

Tax deductible contributions may be sent to the SHRM Foundation, 1800 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA 22314-3499.
