Conference Scholarship.
We offer scholarships for registration and lodging from two memorials.
The Chuck Howard Scholarship covers the GPA’s Annual Conference registration and lodging costs for a GPA member in need of financial support to advance his/her professional development.
The Susan Kemp Conference Scholarship, in memory of Susan Kemp, a longtime grant professional, is offered to GPA members to cover the registration fee and three nights lodging for the GPA Annual Conference.
Below is the list of established conference scholarships. Many thanks to all the GPA chapters and individuals who continue to donate to help these Scholarships advance the grant profession. In order for scholarships to be awarded, each must first be fully funded.
