Four $2,000 scholarships will be awarded this fall to family, professional, or paraprofessional caregivers who are “seeking training or education in specific skills, procedures and strategies that lead to more effective care at the same time that they serve to protect the health and well-being of the caregiver.”
The Mattie J. T. Stepanek Caregiving Scholarship is awarded by the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving. The application deadline is September 15, 2008.
Thank you for getting the news out about this scholarship. What an awesome opportunity for a directcare worker. I think we should spread the news to as many DCW’s as we can.
