Joan Carrera Memorial Scholarships
The 2012 nomination forms will be available soon. The deadline will be in June, 2012.
NSDTA believes the opportunity to attend its Institutes should be shared with as many human services training professionals as possible, but it also recognizes that many agencies simply may not have the funds necessary to send staff. To that end, NSDTA has decided to offer the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to attend our annual Institute. These scholarships are being named for Joan Carrera, a pioneer in staff development and training from HHS, and a true friend, mentor, and inspiration to NSDTA. The scholarships cover registration, hotel, travel and per diem costs.

Awards
The 2012 nomination forms will be available soon. The deadline will be in June, 2012.
NSDTA is pleased to offer the opportunity to recognize outstanding performance in the training and development field. Awards are open to any individual, agency, company, or program that provides training for public sector employees.
