Paul Henkin knew the power of continuing education. A long-time member of CASP and the Los Angeles Association of School Psychologists, Mr. Henkin left a CASP legacy - a scholarship fund to be used to send association members to the annual CASP convention.

Two CASP members - one graduate student and one newly credentialed school psychologist - will be chosen to receive this prestigious award. A newly credentialed school psychologist is defined as someone who has received a credential within the last three years. The award is not renewable.

Applicants will be asked to write an essay on how CASP Convention content will benefit them - either in their studies or in their practice. Graduate students must include a letter from a professor stating why the student should receive the award; the newly credentialed school psychologist must submit a similar letter from his or her supervisor. A panel of CASP members will review the essays and applications and make the awards.

The scholarships, which will be for an amount up to $750, will be used for registration and workshop costs, lodging and transportation. Registration and workshops will be complimentary; lodging and transportation will reimbursed by CASP. The funds cannot be used for food, drink, materials or other expenses incurred while attending the convention.

The deadline to submit an application is December 9th.

For an application call the CASP Office at 916/444-1595 or request one by email at memberservices@casponline.org.
