NOVAA Professional Development Scholarships Available

Please apply for a scholarship from NOVAA. To further our mission and to enhance and support the profession of volunteer administration, NOVAA offers scholarships to enable members to attend pre-selected programs and events that will aid their professional development. Officially approved opportunities include registration for the CVA certification process, NOVAA's Volunteer Management 101 and 201 workshops, and the fall NOVAA conference each year. Other events and opportunities are subject to review and approval by the Board. If you would like to apply for a scholarship for another professional development opportunity in our local area, please apply and the Board will consider it.
Need-based awards will be granted based on how the applicant or their organization will benefit by attending the event/program and how their experience will enhance the profession of volunteer administration. If you know of someone who would benefit, please pass on this important information.
Applications should be submitted at least one month prior to the date of the event for which the scholarship is being applied, however applications will be considered up to two weeks prior to the event.
Members may access the scholarship application on the NOVAA website (www.novaa.org) in the forms section. Or you can mail or e-mail your request to:
