William E. Haas Scholarship Fund
You're a part of our community and you can make a difference.
Bill Haas did in 1979 and he is still making a difference to this
day.
Almost 30 years ago William E. Haas, former Procurement Officer at
Duke University spearheaded a campaign for a scholarship fund to help
members attend professional development courses. Professional
development helps foster procurement practices that are at the leading
edge, and that enable our membership to continually respond to the
changing needs and goals of their universities with strategies that
work.
Since it's inception in 1979, the William E Haas Scholarship Fund has
granted scholarships to over 150 members. We've come a long way since
those early days when Bill Haas used his own money to help seed this
fund. In 2006 we were able to increase the grants by providing a $1,000
scholarship to each of our 19 regions on a bi-annual basis due to
generous donations and wise stewardship of these funds.
We have come far but not far enough. The NAEP scholarship committee,
comprised of NAEP member volunteers, has established a realistic and
reachable goal of adding $75,000 to the Bill Haas scholarship fund by
2012. This will enable NAEP to increase our awards to the membership
from bi-annually to annually.
We can only reach our goals with your support. We have created many
opportunities to make it easy for you to support procurement in higher
education. And…your generous donation is tax-deductible. What better
cause could we engage in than supporting our own membership in its
endeavor to continually improve professionally?
Contributing to the fund is simple. Just fill out the form below,
following the instructions for check vs. credit card. Any contribution
helps us reach our goal of helping as many procurement professionals as
possible. We greatly appreciate your interest.
