2010 Chamberlain Scholarship
Deadline for Applications: Friday, October 16, 2009

The AFP San Diego Chapter (AFPSD) is now accepting applications for the 2010 Chamberlain Scholarship to help individuals develop their fundraising knowledge and skills. AFPSD will provide a $500 scholarship toward the registration fee for the AFP International Conference on Philanthropy to be held in Baltimore Maryland April 11th-14th 2010. The scholarship recipient would register at the early bird rate reducing the total registration cost to the individual for the 3-day conference to only $10. In addition to the $500 scholarship for registration, AFPSD will offer the scholarship recipient up to $1,000 to defray travel and lodging expenses.
