Regional Scholarship Program
The SHRM Foundation Regional Scholarship Program is a flexible
awards program designed to assist working SHRM members. Scholarships
are awarded annually to professional, general, and associate members
of SHRM who are pursuing a college degree or working toward SPHR
or PHR certification.
The number of scholarships and the individual
award amounts will vary each year, depend-ing on the number of
applicants and their financial needs. However, a total of
$6,000 is scholarship money is available for SHRM members in our region,
and a total of $30,000 will be awarded nationwide in 2005.
Individuals may apply for either an Education Scholarship or a
Certification Scholarship, and applicants may specify the amount
of money they are requesting up to $3,000. For example, if your
organization does not reimburse you for taking the certification
exam, you could request a scholarship for the amount of the exam
fee. Or you might be working on your master's degree. If your tuition
reimbursement does not cover your full college costs, you could
request a scholarship to cover the additional expenses. Chapters
and State Councils may also apply for scholarship funds to support
certification training programs.
The 2005 application deadline is May 15. Learn more about the
scholarships or download an application at: http://www.shrm.org/foundation/2002_scholguidelines.asp.
HR Role Models
The SHRM Foundation has recently created a new DVD video entitled HR
Role Models.
Narrated by author and consultant Dr. Wayne Cascio, this highly acclaimed
video features HR executives and their CEO's discussing what
it means for HR to be a strategic leader in the "real world" of
business.
The video features interviews with top HR leaders. Professor John Boudreau of Cornell says the
video "enables HR educators and field professionals to experience firsthand some of the most
innovative examples of cutting-edge human resource management."
To order the DVD, visit the SHRM Store.
