Scholarships for Members and Dependant(s)AFBS has awarded scholarships to both Members and dependants since 1986. The scholarships are considered one of the most important Fraternal Benefits offered by the Society. PhilosophyAll scholarships for Members and dependants are awarded on the basis of a competitive program that considers professional standing, financial need and, in the case of dependants, scholastic merit. Applicants for scholarships must understand that many Members apply for a limited amount of funding, therefore, not all applicants will be awarded scholarships.The Scholarship Selection Committee exercises longstanding experience and prudence when choosing candidates. The Scholarship Selection Committee is composed of a small group of Board appointed senior representatives, former Board Members, and the President of AFBS. All information provided by applicants is held in strict confidence by the Committee and essential AFBS staff only. Recognizing that many courses and programs commence in the winter rather than the traditional September academic year, the AFBS Scholarship Selection Committee meets in both the spring and fall.
