2013 Staff Career Development Grant Recepients
Human Resources and USAC invite staff to apply for Staff Career Development Grants of up to $500, awarded annually to offset costs associated with staff career goals and professional development. The grant can be used toward expenses that occur during calendar year 2013. Applications available at hr.osu.edu/special/careerdevgrt.pdf. Staff Career Development Grants are funded through contributions to the Campus Campaign and administered by Human Resources, in cooperation with the USAC.

Grants are awarded for education and training costs related to the applicant's job and/or career goals. Registration fees, fees for conferences and seminars, tuition for re-training, books, transportation costs, childcare expenses, and job search/outplacement expenses are examples of some of the appropriate uses of the grant.
