William E. Haas Memorial 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 Memorial 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 18 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 $50,000 to the Bill Haas Memorial 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 as simple as making a call. Any contribution helps us reach our goal of helping as many procurement professionals as possible. We greatly appreciate your interest.
