[Gonzales,Laura]

Dear Colleagues,


As chair of the CPTSC Diversity Committee, I'm happy to announce the 2022 CPTSC Diversity Scholarship! Please see the description below and application form attached.


CPTSC is sponsoring a scholarship for the purpose of supporting the goal of CPTSC to increase and sustain diversity in its membership and in the field of technical communication. Eligible candidates for this scholarship include graduate students whose race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, and/or nationality are underrepresented in the technical communication field. A total of $2,000 will be allocated with a maximum of 3 recipients. The scholarship is provided to assist the recipient(s) with expenses associated with the CPTSC conference, up to the amount of the scholarship allocated. The scholarship waives the conference registration fee and provides a one-year CPTSC membership for the recipient.

Eligibility
Applicants should satisfy all of the following criteria for the scholarship:

  *   Be a full- or part-time graduate student (Eligibility requires that applicant have graduate student status at the time of the conference at which the scholarship is awarded)

  *   Be a member of CPTSC by the deadline for the current year conference registration
  *   Attend the current year CPTSC conference to receive the scholarship

or
  *   Be a person with a disability, including mental, physical, sensory, and other disabilities
or
  *   Be an international student from a nation that is underrepresented in the technical communication field

Selection Factors
The scholarship will be given to the graduate student(s) who best meet the eligibility criteria and who exhibit the most potential in the field of technical communication in graduate studies and research, as determined by the scholarship review committee.
