AFP Saskatoon Chapter is proud to offer the Chamberlain Scholarship for the annual International Fundraising Conference. This scholarship is designed to help individuals serving non-profit organizations develop their knowledge and skill in fundraising.
The AFP Chamberlain Scholarship will cover the registration fee for the annual AFP International Fundraising Conference. In addition, the AFP Saskatoon Chapter will reimburse the recipient for eligible expenses related to airfare, accommodations, meals, and other travel-related costs to support their attendance at the conference. The successful applicant will be notified prior to the National Philanthropy Day Luncheon, where the Chamberlain Scholarship Award will be presented.

- Only one individual from any local organization or institution may be selected.
