Final Thought from a
Scholarship Recipient
“This scholarship will help to reduce the
steep financial burden of my graduate
education. In particular, the scholarship will
help with summer tuition costs as I embark
on the task of preparing for my doctoral
comprehensive exams. I am excited to
contribute meaningfully to the field of HR
and to SHRM as well, and this Foundation
scholarship has made these goals
increasingly possible!”
