The winner will receive $750 to be used toward any NACAS event and will be featured in the NACAS magazine, College Services. The 2017 application deadline is February 28, 2017.

 

As we prepare to enjoy the holidays, and anticipate a much-needed winter break, the NACAS Education Foundation wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your contributions to our industry. As auxiliary services professionals, we see our work come alive each day on our campuses. NACAS, our professional association, helps us translate and share our work with each other, and with the countless students we serve each day.

As we look forward to 2017, and to 50 years of NACAS in 2018, we'd like to ask you to consider making a donation to make our profession, and our association, the best it can be. You can start right now by making an end-of year contribution to the NACAS Education Foundation. Better yet, join many of your colleagues by scheduling an automatic contribution. Please visit our fundraising page and consider donating today.

Did you make a connection at the 2016 Annual Conference but forget to collect their contact information? Or maybe you sat through an incredible educational session, only to forget to jot down the presenter's name. Regardless of the situation in which you wished you collected a peer's contact information, NACAS has your back. Visit the Member Directory to find those missed connections, mis-heard email addresses, or to simply find members that are in your vicinity. As an added resource, you can visit our Annual Conference page to find all education session information, including the names of presenters and, in some cases, download a copy of their presentation.

 

The Hassmiller Scholarship was generously funded by Dr. Bob Hassmiller, and this year NACAS has the funds to award several scholarships. NACAS has extended the deadline to December 15, and the individual will need to sit for CASP within one year of their scholarship application date. This is a great opportunity for those individuals whose institutions cannot fund the application fee. Approved applicants will receive $325 to cover the cost of the application fee. Only those with active CASP applications will be considered.
