ERC offers $200 conference scholarships to SE residents within our area of service from our Human Capital Fund ($2,000 per fiscal year). Scholarships may cover the costs of registration, mileage, meals and lodging (per UM policy) but may not exceed $200 per person. Grantees must pre-pay expenses and complete the UM vendor set-up process to be reimbursed.

No one individual may receive more than one scholarship from ERC during a fiscal year. But, ERC may sponsor the same individual to the same annual conference for up to two years in a row – to provide for long-term learning.

The ERC Executive Committee will approve these requests.

Grantees are asked to submit a short written report about the conference and their experience.
