General
Information
In
1981, the Illinois Park and Recreation Association
(IPRA) College and University Relation Committee
established an educational grant/scholarship program
designed to assist individuals in furthering their
educational endeavors. In 2003, the Illinois Park and
Recreation Foundation began funding the scholarship
program. Scholarships up to $2,000.00 will be
awarded. In addition, all award recipients will receive
a one-year IPRA membership.
Payment
of the awards will be made in two installments. The
first half of the award will be mailed to the student
scholarship recipients in September, with the second
half distributed at the IPRA Annual Meeting at the
IPRA/IAPD Annual Conference held each January. Students
must be in attendance at this meeting to receive the
remainder of their award.
