Sheryl A. Blair Scholarships

Established in 2007 to honor the memory of former ADRP board member Sheryl Blair, the Sheryl A. Blair Scholarship fund provides up to ten stipends of $1,000 to newcomers and established members in the donor relations/stewardship field to cover ADRP International Conference expenses. Recipients are responsible for covering expenses beyond the scholarship award amount.

Blair Scholars will be recognized at the ADRP International Conference. They will provide a brief essay after the conference, highlighting their experience there.
