Tuition scholarships are being accepted for professional development courses in 2016.
We are very proud to announce the list of approved courses includes; Chamber Institute, Community Development Institute, Economic Development Institute, the True South Economic Development Course, and the National Development Council Economic Development courses. This is thanks to the generous contributions of Entergy Mississippi, Mississippi Power Company, Tennessee Valley Authority, Mississippi Development Authority, Southern Mississippi Electric Power Association, and MEDC.
A listing of all of the training events your scholarship committee has selected as important for members of MEDC to attend in order to improve professional capability is available for download below.
Please download the application form below to apply for a tuition scholarship. You must have a current individualMEDC membership in order to apply. Please understand that funds may not be sufficient to award scholarships to all who apply. Priority will be given to individuals who are newer to the economic/community development field, who demonstrate a need for the requested training, who are willing to make the commitment to participate, and who require financial assistance in order to attend. A board member or superior must indicate their support of your participation in the course.
Please do not submit more than one application per person. There may, however, be more than one application submitted per organization.
Continued professional training is vital for successful community and economic development in Mississippi. If you know of others who are not members but could benefit from scholarship assistance, encourage them to join our association and apply. As a result, our organization will grow and the capabilities of our membership will improve.
Note that the deadline for applications is Monday, November 9, 2015.
