Dear Colleagues,

Due to the limited response to the first notice of scholarships, we are extending the deadline for applications to August 15. Below is information that was previously sent, but with extended deadline.

KAPPA annually offers two types of Sponsorships, which are open to all KAPPA institutional members in good standing. Current members of the KAPPA board are not eligible.  The following opportunities are currently available:

Norman H Bedell Annual Scholarship

You can attend APPA professional development programs by taking advantage of the “Norman H. Bedell Annual Scholarship” program.  The KAPPA Norman H. Bedell scholarship will include the full cost of registration / tuition and up to an additional $2,500 to cover related travel expenses towards attending an APPA professional development program such as APPA Institute for Facilities Management, Leadership Academy, Supervisor’s Toolkit, or the credentialing program.

The only requirement is that scholarships must be used within 12 months of the award. Two (2) scholarships will be awarded each year.
