For the third consecutive year, the Instructional Design and Learning (IDL) SIG will offer two scholarships to assist students who are pursuing an undergraduate degree, graduate degree, or certificate in the area of instructional design.

The $500 scholarship awards are wholly funded by the IDL SIG. The award may be used for registration fees, books, or attendance at the STC Technical Communication Summit in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Applicants who choose to use the scholarship to attend the STC conference will have the opportunity to present their work to instructional designers.

The IDL SIG Scholarship Committee evaluates applicants' academic records and potential for contributing to the instructional design profession. To apply:

• Applicants must be enrolled in a graduate degree, undergraduate degree, or certification program in the instructional design field.

To learn more about the requirements and download the application form, go to the IDL SIG Web site and click on Scholarships. The deadline for submission is March 21. Winners will be notified in early April. All winners and honorable mentions will be published in the IDL SIG quarterly newsletter. Please direct questions to Ginnifer Mastarone or Sylvia Miller.
