PRIMA is offering\u00a0two full scholarships and two partial scholarships for eligible PRIMA and non-PRIMA General\/Station Managers\/CEOs to attend the 2018 PRIMA Spring Conference, May 9-11, in Chicago.<\/p>\n

FULL SCHOLARSHIP DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0FULL SCHOLARSHIP waives the conference registration fee; for current non-members of PRIMA, membership dues for one year ($200) are also waived. The FULL SCHOLARSHIP also provides a subsidy to cover air and ground transportation, lodging and meals. The full scholarships reimburse up to $1,000 for actual expenses.<\/p>\n

PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIP DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIP also waives the registration fee and (if applicable) a year\u2019s dues in PRIMA, and provides a limited subsidy to apply toward transportation, lodging, and meals. The partial scholarship reimburses up to $500 for actual expenses.<\/p>\n

MAXIMUM MAY BE SET<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PRIMA Board reserves the right to set a maximum amount to be awarded for the scholarships, determined by need.<\/p>\n

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preferably the applicant\u2019s CPB qualified station will be located within the PRIMA region<\/a>, though this requirement may be waived by the Board. The scholarships may be awarded on the basis of need or as encouragement to first time attendees.
