Each of the 10 scholarships will cover the cost of one conference registration. NAPT members are encouraged to apply; if applicants are not current members, Zonar will pay for the cost of membership. Individuals can apply from July 1 through Oct. 1.
ALBANY, N.Y. — Zonar Systems has donated 10 scholarships for attendance to the 2010 National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) Summit, to be held Oct. 30 to Nov. 4 in Portland, Ore.
Each scholarship will cover the cost of one conference registration. Recipients will be responsible for all other expenses.
“I am pleased to be working for a company that understands the importance of professional organizations and the work they do,” said Don Carnahan, Zonar’s vice president of business development for pupil transportation. “Zonar is committed to helping NAPT expand the range of opportunities and benefits it offers its members.”
NAPT members in good standing are encouraged to apply for the scholarships. If applicants are not current members, Zonar will also cover the cost of NAPT membership. Individuals currently employed by an organization that provides pupil transportation services are eligible to apply. Priority will be given to applicants who justify the scholarship as a determining factor for their ability to attend the summit.
