Apply for the NCEA/ESP Professional Development Scholarships by March 1. The $500 scholarship may be used toward professional development, excluding the Nebraska NCEA conference.
The application is at the NCEA website http://ncea.unl.edu/ Click on “scholarship application” and “Save as target.” The completed application may be returned electronically or as a hard copy. The scholarship will be issued once the professional development has been completed and the expense voucher has been submitted. The number of scholarships awarded will be based upon interest funds generated from the professional development NCEA account. Epsilon Sigma Phi will award one scholarship.
After the March 1 due date, the next application date is October 1. Applications are considered equally regardless of the date of the professional development experience. If one professional development occurs in May and another in November, both will be considered equally based upon the merit of the application. If the professional development occurs after October 1 (and the application is not selected) it will automatically be included in the fall selection.
All paid NCEA or ESP members are eligible to apply for professional development which occurs after March 1. If you have questions, call Maureen Burson at 402-441-7180 or email her at mburson1@unl.edu
