Continuing Education and Certification Grants
Delta Zeta believes in the transformative power of education that we know brings limitless opportunities for personal and professional growth to our members. Traditional college degrees are only one of multiple paths to professional success for women today seeking career advancement, career change or return to work in response to a wide variety of professional or family circumstances.
Continuing Education and Certification Grants are designed to alleviate the financial burden of professional development for Delta Zeta women investing in their future through non-traditional education, licensing or exams. Examples include, but are not limited to, coding bootcamp; CPA, CFP or PMP certification; yoga teacher training; real estate license or lactation consultant exams.
Members may receive up to 75% of the cost of each continuing education program with a maximum grant of $1,000. Applicants may apply more than once, but the total amount cannot exceed $1,000 in a member's lifetime.
Applications are open year-round and will be reviewed on a quarterly basis in January, April, July and October for disbursement.
Applications must be submitted no more than 90 days after completing the certification or educational program/course. Proof of completion must be uploaded with your application.
