If you chose a WorldatWork certification course, scholarship recipients must take the certification exam associated with their certification course within the year the scholarship is received to be reimbursed through this scholarship. This ensures TRPDX's goal of promoting certification in the Portland and SW Washington area.

The TRPDX Board of Directors/Scholarship Committee will select the scholarship recipients. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Special consideration will be given to applicants whose organizations provide no, or very little, financial support for certification.
