Apply for the NCEA/ESP Professional Development Scholarships by Oct. 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 Oct. 1 due date, the next application date is March 1, 2012. If one professional development occurs in October 2011 and another in May 2012, both will be considered equally based upon the merit of the application. If the professional development occurs after March 1, 2012 (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 October 1. If you have questions, call Maureen Burson at 402-441-7180 or email her at mburson1@unl.edu
