Fifth Annual Pat Buennemeyer Scholarship

The Pat Buennemeyer Scholarship provides financial assistance to research administrators who wish to participate in a Body of Knowledge Review Session in pursuit of becoming certified.

Two scholarships (each up to $1,000) will be awarded. The scholarship will include a waiver of the cost of the Body of Knowledge Review Session registration fee ($299). The remaining balance of the scholarship ($701) will reimburse the recipient for the cost of travel to the city where the Body of Knowledge Review Session will be conducted.

Each scholarship recipient will have up to one year from the date of the award to attend a Body of Knowledge Review Session. The recipient will then have up to 30 days after attending the review session to submit an expense report to RACC for reimbursement of travel costs up to the amount of the scholarship allocated toward travel ($701).
