SQA Scholarship Awards

Membership Retention and Development Committee (MRDC) Scholarship — For New SQA Active Members

The SQA Membership Retention and Development Committee (MRDC) Scholarship Award is sponsored by the SQA Board of Directors. The value of the scholarship award is a waiver of registration fees for the SQA Annual Meeting held in the same year that the scholarship is awarded. Please note that this waiver does not include travel costs, Quality College course registration fees, or any special event tickets. The amount of the award is taxable, so a 1099-MISC will be sent to the recipient.

• The application shall be submitted as indicated below and shall include a letter specifying the reason for the application and what is hoped to be gained by participation in the Annual Meeting. The application must be accompanied by a current CV.
