AFP East Texas Members: Chamberlain Scholarship is Available Now. AFP East Texas Chamberlain Scholarship is still available, but the board must receive your application no later than Monday, October 7, 2013. Our Board of Directors serves as the Scholarship Committee and will select a scholar based on the following criteria. If you are interested in attending the International Conference in San Antonio in March, please login at afpnet.org, search the site for Chamberlain Scholarship and print and complete the “Sample Chamberlain Application Form.” Scan and Email the completed form to [email protected] before Monday, October 7, 2013 for consideration. The scholarship awardee will be contacted before October 15, 2013. Please note that the scholarship covers the conference fee. AFP East Texas will provide $500.00 in matching funds to help cover other expenses. Chapters will select their Chamberlain Scholar based on the following criteria: • Candidate is employed as a fundraising professional or, if candidate is an executive director, a substantial amount of time must be devoted to fundraising. • Candidate has never attended an AFP or NSFRE International Conference on Fundraising as a registered participant (unless as a member of the Conference Host Committee). • Candidate must agree to complete an online evaluation form about his or her experience at International Conference. • Only one individual from any local organization or institution may be selected. In addition to these criteria, the AFP Scholarship Committee encourages all participating chapters to consider diversity and financial need when allocating scholarship funds. Chapters may add additional criteria (e.g, whether to choose members or non-members,) if they so desire. Chapters are encouraged to match the Foundation grant with their own funds. If chapters have difficulty getting applicants who have never attended an AFP conference in the past, we encourage promotion of this scholarship to new members who have recently joined the chapter. The AFP Foundation for Philanthropy appreciates the assistance of chapters in publicizing the Chamberlain Scholarship program through the local chapter.
