MSAE members who have been Active or Associate members over the past year are eligible for the Kevin A. Kelly Scholarship to offset expenses related to a professional development offering hosted by MSAE.

The Kevin A. Kelly Scholarship Program was established to:

  • Assist association and not-for-profit professionals in reaching a higher level of performance.

  • Assist organizations with the sometimes unaffordable professional development costs and thereby contribute to their ability to provide continuing education to their employees.

  • Enhance the knowledge of association and not-for-profit employees so that they, in turn, will contribute to their organization and the profession as a whole. Scholarships will be awarded for MSAE or other organizational management seminars/conferences.

Description of Awards

Scholarships will be awarded for MSAE or other organizational management seminars/ conferences.

  1. MSAE will award a maximum of $1000 per applicant over their career.

  2. Scholarship covers registration and materials only.

Who Can Apply?
