Message from the President
When we did the survey a couple of years ago, one of the
items that our membership requested was access to scholarships to send staff
to CASFAA activities. CASFAA listened and increased the number and the
amount of funds available during these difficult budgetary times for our
members. However, there is one big problem: no one is applying for them!
There are scholarships available for several popular CASFAA training
activities that occur during the year prior to the conference. For example:
Proprietary Certification Workshop
CASFAA Do-Talk Workshop (Graduate/Professional Issues)
CASFAA Management Institute
In addition, we also support our Regional association,
WASFAA, with access to scholarships to attend their Jerry Sims Management
Institute and the Sister Dale Brown Summer Institute.
Now if your budgets are strong and you do not need to ask
for financial assistance to send staff to trainings, then hooray!! However,
we are sure that training staff is one of the most important items on your
list of goals during any given year. CASFAA offers these scholarships to
encourage training during the year as was requested, but we don't have that
"crystal ball" to determine who needs the help. It is easy to
apply, just go to the CASFAA homepage:
www.casfaa.org and if you are
reading this you are already there! Look on the left side and you will see
the scholarship link. Click that and follow the on-line instructions.
