CAE Scholarship Program
Realizing that some association executives may have to reach into their own pockets to cover some or all of the fees associated with taking the test, the OSAE CAE Council has established the OSAE CAE Scholarship Fund.
The OSAE CAE Scholarship Fund will reimburse up to 50 percent of a person's out-of-pocket expenditures related to taking the CAE, up to a limit of $500.
This scholarship is available to current members of OSAE. Along with a completed scholarship application form, individuals applying for the scholarship must also provide proof from ASAE that he or she has made application to take the exam. There is an expectation that scholarship recipients will participate in the OSAE Study Group Program.
Scholarship monies will be distributed in advance of the individual taking the test; however, if he or she decides not to take the test after the scholarship has been awarded, the funds must be returned to OSAE. If the scholarship recipient takes the test but does not pass, the scholarship money does not have to be returned.
The deadline for submission of CAE Scholarship applications will be set close to the deadline for submission to ASAE of qualifying credentials.
An announcement of the deadline will be made on the OSAE website. The number of scholarships to be awarded in advance of each test will be determined by the amount of scholarship money available.
Scholarship funds will come from fundraising activities conducted by OSAE's CAE Council and will include appeals for individual donations and fundraising activities at OSAE events.
The OSAE CAE Council wants to ensure that the cost to take the CAE exam does not deter anyone in Ohio from pursuing the designation.
For more information on how to apply for the scholarship or how to donate to the fund, contact the OSAE office at (614) 846-0998.
