Scholarship Application

The Northeastern Pennsylvania Society of Human Resource Management (NEPA SHRM), is pleased to provide scholarships to three deserving members of our chapter annually.

The purpose of this program is to grow and advance our profession, by providing financial assistance to candidates who meet the eligibility requirements and seek to obtain credentials as a SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) or SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP).

Each scholarship recipient will be reimbursed for qualified expenses related to a preparation course, the purchase of preparation materials, and/or to pay the exam fee, up to the amount of $1000 per scholarship. All applicants will be notified of their standing by phone or by email.

Eligibility Requirements:

Candidates must have both a SHRM and NEPA SHRM member in good standing.
Must be eligible to sit for the certification exam and/or not have let your certification lapse. Check here for the full list of eligibility criteria.
The scholarship recipient agrees to register and sit for the examination within the Spring or Winter Exam Window following scholarship notification. Click here to apply to take the exam and check application deadlines.
Previous applicants who have not been awarded a scholarship are eligible to reapply. Applicants who have received this award in the past are ineligible for future awards.
Passing the exam is not required to qualify for reimbursement.

Selection Process:
Scholarship applicants who meet the eligibility criteria will be awarded on a first-come-first-served basis over the calendar year from January through December. In the event greater than three qualified applications are received, the scholarship will be chosen at random by the NEPA SHRM Board of Directors.

Should NEPA SHRM not receive three (3) qualified applications by the end of the calendar year, we reserve the right to seek additional applications for consideration, and/or roll the scholarship award into the following calendar year.

The NEPA SHRM Board of Directors reserves the right to alter, amend, or discontinue the Scholarship program in whole or part at any time. Any change or discontinuance will not adversely affect awarded recipients.

Reimbursement Process:
At the completion of the exam, the recipient shall submit proof of exam completion along with receipts for all eligible expenses, and a valid mailing address for check reimbursement to nepashrm@yahoo.com with the subject line “Last Name, Scholarship Reimbursement.” All receipts must be submitted to NEPA SHRM within one year of notification of receipt of the award. Failure to submit all required documentation within one year will result in forfeiture of the award.
