The S&D Training Scholarship Program, launched in 2004, offers opportunities for scholarship recipients to gain access to hands-on teaching initiatives. Through a separate S&D Scholarship Program, the committee offers cash grants, which can be used for a variety of professional development initiatives. Since 1997, over $750,000 has been awarded to current and aspiring schedulers and dispatchers through this program.
