The IAAP Cape Cod Chapter Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce that scholarship applications for the 2008-2009 academic year will be available beginning January 2, 2008 online or from Peggy A. Rose CAP, Chair of the Committee (prose@whoi.edu or 508-477-1607).  The application forms are also  attached for your convenience.  Inquiries concerning eligibility, criteria, applications, or the process may be directed to Peggy or any member of the Scholarship Committee (Pat Dutra, Vinni Malone, Gail Roberts, Rebecca Stockhaus).  Application forms and this information is available on the IAAP Cape Cod Chapter Web site (http://www.iaap-capecod.org/). 

This is the second year that the Cape Cod Chapter is able to make scholarship awards available to members and/or their family members.  The Chapter and Scholarship Committee are excited at being able to assist its members or their family members with educational goals and pursuits.

For the past two years, our Chapter and Scholarship Fund has been the recipient of a donation from Eastern Bank, thanks to the efforts of Chapter member Patti Lotane.  Also, the proceeds from our annual fashion shows provide the much needed income to make these scholarship awards possible. Without donations and fundraisers, our scholarship award program could not sustain itself.  As a matter of fact, members of the Scholarship Fundraising Committee are busy planning the third annual fashion show to be scheduled in early 2008.  We are optimistic that this event will again be successful in raising funds for future scholarship awards.  Pat Dutra and her team have done a fantastic job coordinating every aspect of the fashion shows, and without their hard work and dedication, these awards would not be possible.  Thank you Patti, Pat, and the fashion show coordinating team.
