TABPI Offers International Scholarship

ASBPE is cosponsor; entry deadline is April 28.

ASBPE is proud to help sponsor Trade, Association and Business Publications International (TABPI)’s Young Leaders Scholarship. The scholarship has been created to maintain interest in the B2B publishing world with younger editors who are advancing in their editorial careers. It allows 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 July 19-21, 2006 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The conference contains an evening networking event on July 19, 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 United States (for editors in the United States, ASBPE sponsors a similar scholarship). The TABPI scholarships pay the conference and hotel room costs for up to two worthy applicants per year, along with up to $500 toward airfare costs. Transportation to and from the conference, any nonconference 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 for TABPI’s international Young Leaders Scholarship must meet the following qualifications:

  • Are 30 years of age or younger (as of July 19, 2006).
  • 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.
  • Work outside the United States.

The deadline for applications is April 28, 2006. Scholarship winners will be notified on or before May 26, 2006. A listing of winners will also be posted on the TABPI website, www.tabpi.org.

If you have questions about your submission, or general questions about the scholarship, please email them to info@tabpi.org.
