Past Presidents' Scholarship Award — for Active SQA Members

sponsored by the SQA Board of Directors

SQA awards up to two Past Presidents' Scholarship Awards each year. The value of each award is up to $2,000*, which may be used to pay training and registration fees plus travel expenses (documented with receipts) for the SQA Annual Meeting held in the same year that the scholarship is awarded.

*Please note, the amount of the award it taxable, so a 1099-MISC will be sent to the recipient.

 

Selection Criteria

• The applicant shall be an Active member of SQA, in good standing, and shall have been an Active member for at least one year.
