NYCLSA Scholarship Opportunities
Both the NYCLSA Promising Student Award and the NYCLSA Professional Development Scholarship Award are funded through our generous members who contribute directly to the fund and who support fundraising activities at NYCLSA’s annual Symposium.
NYCLSA Promising Student Award
NYCLSA recognizes the challenges that students in our developmental courses and programs may face relating to the expenses of higher education. Our organization has been awarding this $300 scholarship to students with bright futures and vast potential annually since 2009. The 2023 award applications will be accepted until February 28, 2023 by scanning the code below or visiting: bit.ly/PromisingStudentNYCLSA Applicant Criteria:

NYCLSA Professional Development Scholarship Award
Please Note: Because of decreased membership and a limited Treasury, NYCLSA is unable to offer the Professional Development Scholarship at this time. We hope to offer this again in the future. NYCLSA started this $500 scholarship in 2003 to support the professional development of NYCLSA members in good standing for the last two years or longer and who have worked in developmental education for the last two years or longer. This scholarship can be used for professional development opportunities such as (but not limited to) the Kellogg Institute, the Technology Institute, On Course, SI training, or a graduate course in developmental education or a related field. |
