“ASTD’s mission is to empower professionals to develop knowledge and skills successfully, and that mission extends to students — our future practitioners,” says Cami Best-Jones, manager of ASTD’s Higher Education Community. “Research shows that membership in professional associations is correlated with career success, and ASTD is proud to award these scholarships to deserving students.”
