Wortham Scholarship

In cooperation with Mary Beth Hartleb, founder and CEO of PRISM Human Resources Consulting and Insurance Services, LLC; SNHRA is pleased to announce a scholarship opportunity for Study Group participants named after our beloved former Executive Administrator, Denyse Wortham. As you will recall, we lost Denyse to a long-term illness approximately a year ago. To honor the many years of dedicated service and enthusiasm that Denyse put into SNHRA, Mary Beth has made a generous donation to get the "Wortham Scholarship" program off the ground. This opportunity is open to participants in the Study Group who meet the following criteria:

Must be a Human Resources professional;
Must present a summary of their HR experience and where they are in their HR career;
Establish a need for the scholarship (i.e. their employer is not paying for the course or materials);
Submit their purpose in taking the PHR/SPHR exam and what they believe certification will do for them as an HR professional, and
Complete the entire study group and regularly attend the meetings.

Study Group participants interested in applying for the Wortham Scholarship must submit verification of the information required above to admin@snhra.org before the November 16th study group meeting.
