Scholarship Applications Are Open

ONLY ONE MONTH LEFT TO APPLY!  

 
Were you hoping to travel to the 2017 AFP International Conference in San Francisco (April 30 - May 2, 2017), but could use some help getting to the city by the bay? Apply for the Chamberlin Scholarship and John Saunders Scholarship! These scholarships are open to AFP VI members who have yet to attend an AFP International Conference.
 
AFP VI also has a scholarship available for the Fundamentals of Fundraising Course taking place next spring, as well as Professional Development Scholarships to fund the educational opportunities that you feel will benefit you the most.
 
We have a brand new opportunity for fundraisers who are new to the profession! Recipients of the Young Professional Membership Scholarships receive a free year-long membership. One scholarship will be for a fundraiser located in Greater Victoria and another for the Mid to North Island. If you know someone who would benefit from being an AFP VI member, please encourage them to apply!
 
Please send your completed scholarship or membership scholarship application form to Caitlin Pierce, Scholarships Chair, at  [email protected]. The deadline is September 23, 2016.
