National IAP2 USA Student Scholarship Program
Supporting students encourages student membership, relationships with universities, research in the field, and the ongoing vitality and sustainability of IAP2 USA.
We hosted the first fundraiser to benefit USA Student Scholarships at the 2015 IAP2 North American Conference in Portland where over $1,900 was raised through a silent auction of items donated by chapters, businesses and generous attendees.
The first IAP2 USA National Scholarship will be awarded in 2017. Make your contribution today to expand the program to allow additional scholarships to be awarded this year or next! You do not need to have a PayPal account to make a donation.
Thank you for supporting this great cause!
