Announcing The Jennifer Bielat Legacy Scholarship Fund for Rising Leaders
Jennifer’s husband and daughters hosted a memorial pickleball tournament this spring to support TNPA Foundation’s Jennifer Bielat Legacy Scholarship Fund, with generous support from family and friends. They plan to make it an annual event.
Last fall, The Nonprofit Alliance Foundation announced the Jennifer Bielat Legacy Scholarship Fund, established in memory of our esteemed board member and industry advocate, Jennifer Bielat. Today we proudly invite applications for scholarships that will cover registration and travel expenses for emerging leaders to attend the Rising Leaders Summit in Philadelphia on October 17.
This premier event is tailored for mid-level managers and aspiring executives who:
- Have a strong foundation of tactical skills
- Are recognized as subject matter experts
- Lead teams or manage direct reports
- Are eager to develop strategic planning skills and think big
Scholarship Details
We are reserving four seats for the inaugural Jennifer Bielat Legacy Scholarship Fund Awardees. Each scholarship includes:
- Full registration to the summit
- Up to two nights’ hotel stay
- A $200 travel stipend to offset plane or train fare (depending on travel distance)
