(Mainly developed to help with costs to attend the MPAEA Conference)

Purpose: To provide up to $500.00 as a reimbursement to one recipient from each member state of the Mountain Plains Adult Education Association to be used to attend conferences or other staff development activities during the year.

In most instances the stipend will be used to defray expenses to the annual MPAEA Conference, although other functions related to lifelong learning may be considered. Applicants must be current MPAEA members or submit a membership application with this request. At the time of selection by the Scholarship Committee, one alternate will be named for the award should the first grantee be unable to fulfill the terms of the scholarship. The recipient and alternate will be notified within one month after the application deadline, which is November 30, 2023.
