NAAAHR 2008 Scholarship Program

The National Association of African Americans in Human Resources (NAAAHR) - Atlanta is committed to preparing human resource professionals through education, workshops, information services and support systems to ensure that HR is an essential and effective partner in developing and executing organizational strategy within each member's respective organization. We are equally as committed to ensuring that we support our future HR leaders who are engaged in completing their education in this field of study.

Annually, we provide scholarships to a person(s) in the study of human resources management, or a related field. Candidate’s qualifications and Scholarship Award package will be evaluated by a panel of three qualified judges. The panel will consist of a member from the academia community, a member of the Human Resources professional community and an executive board member of the Atlanta chapter of NAAAHR. This year, we will be awarding one undergraduate scholarship and one graduate scholarship. Our selections will be announced at our 15th Anniversary and Scholarship Gala in November 2008.
