Triangle Chapter Scholarships

2017 scholarships 

One of the benefits of belonging to the Triangle Chapter of AFP is your eligibility to apply for and receive a scholarship to a number of chapter events and conferences. You’ve probably heard about our scholarships for the AFP International Conference, but you may not be aware of the other scholarship opportunities offered by our chapter. If you are not currently a member, we offer membership scholarships as well!

Each year, members of the Triangle Chapter are asked to participate in AFP’s Every Member Campaign (EMC). Our chapter has always responded, and as a result, has access to one of the most visible benefits of our financial support of and association with AFP – the Chamberlain Scholarship. However, we also use these funds to support all other scholarship categories, and when you give to the EMC you are helping to support these efforts.

Please review the scholarship opportunities and download the scholarship application to fill out and submit. Please contact our Scholarships Chair, Christina Gonzalez with any questions.

AFP International 2016 was a phenomenal experience. I’m very impressed with the organization of the Chamberlain Scholarship, and particularly appreciated the LinkedIn page for scholars which served as a platform for connecting before the conference. Through it, I found a roommate and had someone to navigate the conference with from day one, which was extremely beneficial. The workshops I attended have already helped in my professional development. One workshop in particular was very timely and applicable in my volunteer work with a local nonprofit, as I’ve now shared with the board the value of a monthly giving program and we are working on a roll out plan. I’m profoundly grateful for the generosity that provided me the opportunity to attend this fantastic conference.
