Graduate Study Fellowship Program

An innovative educational opportunity!

The Graduate Study Fellowship offered by the International Public Management Association for Human Resources (IPMA-HR) allows recipients to pursue graduate study in public administration, business administration, the law or a related field. In 2012, IPMA-HR will award up to $2,000 to each of two individuals seeking graduate degrees in the aforementioned fields. The Fellowship is renewable for a maximum of one academic year, subject to evidence of maintaining grades of B or better or a GPA of 3.0 or better. During the second year, fellowship recipients must remain a member of the Association. Ph.D. candidates are not eligible for the Graduate Study Fellowship.

This is a chance “not-to-be-missed” for eligible IPMA-HR members who have decided to continue their education. All eligible members are encouraged to apply. All applications must be received by June 1, 2012 to be considered.
