Diversity & Inclusion Scholarships

EACE Diversity and Inclusion Statement

EACE promotes a culture of diversity and inclusion where all are respected, accepted and safe.

About the Scholarships

EACE offers two Diversity and Inclusion Scholarships each year in memory of Rick McLellan and Ernie Andrews. These are open to both employers and college professionals working in the field and/or graduate students working or intending to work in the field of career services or human resources. You do not need to be an EACE Member or first-time EACE Annual Conference attendee to apply. 

2022 Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship applications are now closed. Applicants were notified of their status.

Thank you Virginia Tech for sponsoring the Ernie Andrews D&I Scholarship.
