Established in 2003, the Wallace O. Keene ASPA Conference Scholarships are
awarded to students in the fields of public administration and public policy.
The scholarships are intended to provide students financial assistance to
attend the ASPA national conference, and thereby expand their knowledge
of the field and their acquaintance with others in the field.
The $250 scholarships are also intended to emphasize the impact of
ethical leadership on the public's trust in government.
To be eligible for this award, students must be enrolled in a public administration
or public policy program at the undergraduate or graduate level, as evidenced
by the nomination letter from a professor in the major field or an academic
advisor.
The application must include the following:
- A
cover letter stating his/her reasons for wishing to participate in the
ASPA national conference.
- A
resume or curriculum vitae.
- A
nomination letter from a professor in the major field or an academic
advisor.
- An essay (2 page maximum) addressing
the topic ethical leadership and public trust.
The award commemorates Wally Keene, who contributed so much
to the field and the community, and to whom ethical leadership and the development
of young people was so important. The Public Manager co-sponsors
this award. Please
