Applications open for 2007 TABPI Young Leaders Scholarship
CLEVELAND, US: Applications for the TABPI Young Leaders Scholarship, which encourages younger editors advancing in their editorial careers to maintain their interest in the B2B publishing world, are now open. Now Media’s Natalia Thomson, managing editor of Southern African Tourism Update, was a 2006 award recipient.
The scholarship, sponsored by TABPI and the American Society of Business Publication Editors, allows two younger editors — who might otherwise be unable — to attend an educational b2b editorial event. This year’s scholarship is to attend the ASBPE Editorial Conference scheduled for New York City, 2 - 3 August 2007.
The conference contains an evening networking event on 1 August, followed by two full days of intensive editorial sessions on topics that will include:
- Useful seminars, panel discussions, and workshops targeted at editors of business, trade, and association print and Web publications
- A chance to network with fellow business editors in an interactive setting designed for editors
- Top-notch, cutting-edge speakers
These scholarships are open to all business editors, including print and Web, who work outside of the US (for editors in the US, ASBPE sponsors a similar scholarship).
Scholarships pay the conference and hotel room costs for up to two worthy applicants per year, along with up to US$500 towards airfare costs. Transportation to and from the conference, any non-conference meals, and other incurred costs are the responsibility of the winners or their individual publishing companies. The scholarship is not transferable to other persons or events.
Applicants must meet the following qualifications:
- Are 30 years of age or younger on or about 1 August 2007
- Are currently a business publication editor, and have been so for a minimum of two years
- Candidacy is sponsored by their publication’s chief editor
- Plan to continue in the business press as a career
The deadline for applications is 1 May. Scholarship winners will be notified on or before 31 May. A listing of winners will also be posted on www.tabpi.org.
