There are three types of scholarships for participants in the
Organizations Alive!
2-day
Workshop.
They are for non-profit organizations, for students of
organization behaviour, and for graduates of the
MSOD program
at Pepperdine University. The reasons for providing scholarships are
based on the belief that:
·
Volunteers are the backbone of our society.
·
Young people are the leaders of tomorrow.
·
There is ‘plenty’ to go around.
1. Non-Profit Organization
For every ten
people registered in the 2-day
Workshop,
there will be one space made available, free-of-change, to a member of
a non-profit organization, which strives to meet the basic needs
(food, clothing, shelter, medical, safety, etc.) of those who are less
fortunate. Specifically, the purpose of this scholarship is to provide
training that might not otherwise be afforded, to help focus efforts,
time, and money on:
·
Identifying a clear sense of purpose and direction,
·
Managing resources in a careful and responsible way,
·
Addressing the wants and needs of those served, and
·
Employing the talents and energies of all members of the
organization,
...
in order to become vibrant and remarkable organizations
in these extraordinary times.
Some examples of charities that have participated in this capacity
include, The Christmas Exchange, Ottawa Community
Immigrant Services, and LASI World Skills.
2. Students
For every ten people registered in the 2-day
Workshop,
there will be one space provided to a student of organization behaviour
at the rate of $250.
Specifically, the purpose of this scholarship is to encourage and
equip young people, as they choose their career path, to positively
influence and help create vibrant and remarkable organizations.
3. MSOD Graduates
Beginning in August 2009, one seat
on the 2-day
Workshop is offered
each year to a graduate
of the current
MSOD Program
at Pepperdine University. This scholarship is not
time-limited, however only one scholarship seat is available for each
workshop. It does not include travel to and from the workshop or
related living expenses.
