The Scholarships, Grants, and Recognition Committee for the Ohio Joint Council of Extension Professionals recognizes the uncertainty of 2021. This includes limits on out-of-state travel, conferences not being held in-person, etc. Because of this, the committee has extended the deadline to apply for the first-timers awards (purpose to help fund members’ first attendance at national association conferences). The committee also has determined that if you have previously attended a national Extension conference virtually, you are eligible to apply for the award to attend your first in-person conference. You may still only receive the award once. All full members of the association are eligible to apply.
Also, remember that the third round of Ohio JCEP professional development awards are due Sept. 1. To apply for both awards, visit: go.osu.edu/ojcepscholarship.
