COMPETITIVE EVENT SPONSORSHIP

Provide an opportunity for competitors to take their skills to the next level. Event Sponsorships bestow travel scholarships to the Top Three qualifiers in an event to compete at the International Career Development Conference (ICDC).

The collective $1,050 Competative Event Sponsorship is broken down by placement.  Those amounts are: 

• 1st place team/individual gets a $600 travel scholarship to attend ICDC
• 2nd place team/individual gets a $300 travel scholarship to attend ICDC
• 3rd place team/individual gets a $150 travel scholarship to attend ICDC

How the scholarships work:

• The scholarships are issued in the form of a credit towards the ICDC invoice of the recipient’s chapter.  The dollars are not issued directly to the student(s).
• The scholarships stay with the event/placement.
• These are travel scholarships for the sponsored event and not individual student scholarships.
• If it is a team event the travel scholarship is divided among the members of the team.
