PRSA Nebraska is excited to let you know about two new opportunities from our Midwest District (MWD) affiliation:

• APR Grant Reimbursement
• Conference/Event Grant Program

The APR Grant Reimbursement follows successful completion of your certification. Two members are eligible from each MWD chapter each calendar year.

Applicants who attend PRSA-sponsored conferences or events at the national, district or local level are eligible for the Conference/Event Grant Program. Among the criteria for this award is sharing your experiences with the chapter and the district within 60 calendar days of attending the conference or event. Your experience can be shared via “live” tweeting, as a live discussion, blog post, etc.

Both types of awards are on a first-come, first-serve basis, once the applicant has met all of the criteria and completed the processing guidelines.

Congratulations to three outstanding college seniors who have a bright future in our field.
