The next AFP International Conference is held each spring. The conference is the largest and most comprehensive educational meeting that AFP conducts to enhance the fundraising skills of its members.

Each year, the AFP Central Florida Chapter awards 2 scholarships, of $1,500 each, to reimburse two chapter members for expenses incurred in attending the conference. In addition, the AFP Foundation on Philanthropy sponsors the Chamberlain Scholarship Program. AFP chapters are eligible to receive one $500 grant to be awarded to one individual, of the chapter’s choosing, for the same purpose.

The AFP Central Florida Chapter uses the following criteria to award the Chamberlain and Chapter scholarships:

• Candidates must be current AFP members.
• Candidates must never have attended an AFP International Conference on Fundraising.
• Candidates must agree to complete and return an Evaluation Form about their experiences.
• Only one individual from any organization or institution may be selected.

All scholarship recipients are responsible for registering themselves for the Conference and for making all travel and lodging arrangements. The Chamberlain Scholars qualify for the “early bird” conference registration rate regardless of when they register.

Members will be notified of dates for applying for both the Chapter scholarships and the Chamberlain Scholarship later this year.
