SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY: 2015 PRSA International Conference

Posted on Aug. 12, 2015  /  0

The PRSA International Conference is the perfect place to hone your PR skills and learn tools on the latest trends impacting the industry.

“Right now, communicators have more tools and opportunities than ever before. How do we ensure that we’re making the most strategic decisions that will lead to greater results? We come together, exchange insights and build powerful relationships. At the PRSA 2015 International Conference, we’ll connect on the best practices that will become the future of PR,” said Kathy Balfour, APR, PRSA 2015 Chair and Vice President of Communications at Acosta Sales and Marketing.

PRSA Tampa Bay is offering one scholarship for a member to attend the conference Nov. 8-10 in Atlanta.

About the scholarship: The scholarship recipient will be required to fulfill a role during the conference, such as blogging or providing social media posts. Be sure to indicate in this application the role(s) you will commit to perform if you are selected. The Tampa Bay Chapter scholarship will cover the conference’s registration fee ($1,195) and partial travel expenses (hotel, flight, mileage reimbursement, etc.) up to a combined total of $200. The chapter will register and pay the registration fee for the selected recipient. The recipient will need to pay travel expenses up front and submit receipts for reimbursement following the conference. Any travel expenses beyond the $200 allotment are the responsibility of the attendee. If for some reason the recipient is not able to attend the conference, the scholarship will be awarded to someone else.

To be considered, please complete the application by 12 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2015. A selection committee from another PRSA chapter will choose the scholarship recipient; the winner will be notified by Sept. 2, 2015.
