2008 AFP Foundation Chamberlain Scholarship Program

To help individuals serving nonprofit organizations develop their knowledge and skill in fundraising, the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy sponsors the Chamberlain Scholarship Program. The Chamberlain Scholarship honors the memory of Ralph E. Chamberlain, CFRE.

The AFP Foundation and AFP/DC will award scholarships for the purpose of defraying expenses associated with attendance at AFP's International Conference in San Diego, California March 30 - April 2, 2008. The AFP Foundation will fund one $500 Chamberlain Scholarship for the chapter. Additional $500 scholarships are being made possible through a designated endowment fund established by AFP/DC members at the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy.

Further - all scholarship recipients will receive a $350 travel grant to help defray the costs of getting to San Diego to attend the International Conference. This support is being made possible by AFP/DC and the designated endowment fund.

Candidates are required to hold membership in AFP/DC. Scholarships will also be awarded in order to support AFP/DC's ongoing commitment to ensure that professional development opportunities are accessible to the widest range of nonprofit organizations in the Washington, DC Metro area.
