NEW Region 7 Scholarship - 2011
Dick Taylor (Excellence in Interpretive Support Award Winner 2007) ws a docent and volunteer for the City of Colorado Springs as well as Region 7 Treasurer. Dick passed away late in 2007 and left a $25,000 charitable annuity that will fund scholarships to the national workshop for interpreters in El Paso, Freemont and Teller Counties. The eligibility criteria and selection process are yet to be determined. We hope to offer the first of these scholarships in 2011. If you live in those counties and want to participate in the development of the award process please e-mail Linda Strand at LJeanStrand@comcast.net
The Scholarships and Grants Team annually reviews the scholarship criteria and solicits applications.
