Virginia Carter Smith Scholarship Program
Through the Virginia Carter Smith Scholarship program, CASE grants about 20 scholarships each year to cover registration fees at selected CASE conferences.
Application Deadline
The deadline for 2012 has passed. Applications for 2013–2014 will be posted in April.
Who Should Apply?
This program is for CASE members who have three or fewer years of advancement experience. Preference goes to professionals who are minorities and those who work at campuses with extremely limited resources. Scholarships are also available to those who have changed advancement disciplines (for example, moving from alumni relations to fundraising) in the last three years.
Scholarship Requirements
Scholarships are awarded based on:
- The career potential and experience of the candidate,
- The candidate's statement about the resources available for career development at his or her institution and
- The candidate's ability to express himself or herself.
What the Scholarship Covers
Scholarships cover only the cost of the conference registration. The recipient or the institution is responsible for travel and hotel costs.
Note: Scholarships are not available for CASE Summer Institutes, the CASE Summit for Leaders in Advancement or CASE district conferences.
