Road Trip GrantThe Road Trip grant covers travel expenses for any Apra Carolinas member to spend a day with another Prospect Development professional at an institution of their choosing anywhere in the Carolinas. This opportunity can be used to learn about processes, procedures, CRM, a specific project, or some other prospect development related topic within their organization. Up to two road trip grants can be awarded within each calendar year. The grant covers travel expenses (gas, meals, and 1 night of lodging) up to $300. The recipient is asked to contribute to a blog post about their road trip experience. In 2023, we awarded two Road Trip Grants! Nicole Tekulve of Kettering University used her award to travel to Elon University for a full day of learning with Merissa Lawson and Megan (Gregg) Crenshaw. Avril Wilson of USC visited The Citadel to learn from Lisa Ukuku. |
We accept applications for the Road Trip Grant all year long and will update if the grants are no longer available. |
