Steve Lafever of Springfield College was the winner of SNEAPPA’s drawing for a full registration to ERAPPA 2009!  SNEAPPA members who attended any two of the last three SNEAPPA Business Meetings (Fenway, Mt. Holyoke, or Quinnipiac) were eligible and entered into the draw which was conducted following the summer meeting in June!  

The SNEAPPA Board established the Scholarship Program to support the education of facilities professionals in Southern New England. The purpose of this program is to provide funding opportunities to the Chapter’s membership to attend professional development (PD) sessions at both the regional and national levels.

A maximum of four scholarships, up to $1,000 each, are granted annually to cover tuition/registration fees at:

  • APPA’s Institute for Facilities Management
  • Leadership Academy
  • Supervisor’s Toolkit
  • EFP certification preparatory courses
  • Consideration for future APPA or ERAPPA professional development offerings

Scholarship applications are due April 1, and will be awarded at the Summer SNEAPPA Annual Meeting (generally in June) for use in the next year. The Scholarship Award Committee will consist of the SNEAPPA President, Vice President, and the three state representatives.

Qualifications:
The applicant’s institution needs to be a current dues paying member of APPA.

Application Process:
The application process for all scholarships and grants shall be made using the SNEAPPA Scholarship Application (see Attachment 1).  Interested applicants must complete the form and submit according to the instructions contained on the form.

Forms may be obtained online from the Chapter website or from any Chapter Board member. A properly completed application will include a complete description of the professional program to be attended, complete with course costs, and an endorsement from the applicant’s supervisor.

Upon course completion, all successful scholarship awardees will be required to write either a short synopsis of their experience or comment for a minute or two at a SNEAPPA meeting on how the event went and what was most valuable. 

There are several additional scholarship opportunities available through the Eastern Region. These scholarships are designed to help defray the cost(s) of attending various APPA sponsored events.
