Jayhawk Chapter of SHRM Scholarship Application

The ability for all Human Resource professionals to participate in a local professional organization is important to the Jayhawk SHRM chapter. It is our pleasure offer a scholarship program that makes membership available to HR professionals who are experiencing periods of unemployment or whose employers are not able and/or willing to pay for a local professional membership.

Scholarship Value

• The scholarship is for one membership year in alignment with your SHRM membership.

• The scholarship consists of waiving the annual Jayhawk chapter membership dues and reducing the monthly meeting fee by 50%* (this includes up to 12 monthly meetings and one annual leadership conference sponsored by the chapter for the membership year the scholarship is awarded).

• There are no retro-active reimbursements, nor may the recipient hold over the meeting discount to future membership years.

Applicant Eligibility

• Participants may reapply as many years as the program is offered and the participant is eligible. From year to year the chapter board may establish the total number of scholarships available as part of establishing the annual budget.

• In order to receive the scholarship, the recipient will be required to donate a minimum of 10 hours during the membership year of volunteer time to the chapter (i.e. assistance at a chapter meeting, working on a project committee, developing and hosting a new program available to the membership). A list of opportunities will be made available to the scholarship recipient.

• The recipient will be required to affiliate with the Jayhawk Chapter with a national SHRM membership during the duration of the scholarship.

• Should the recipient’s eligibility for the scholarship change during the award year (i.e. becomes employed and/or their employer is willing to pay for professional development), the 50% reduction in the monthly membership fee will end. It is the recipient’s responsibility to notify the Chapter President or VP of Finance immediately to indicate they have moved to an ineligible status and end the scholarship.
