R. Gregory Green Scholarships
The SHRM Foundation is proud to announce that two scholarships will be awarded in 2012 in honor of SHRM volunteer leader R. Gregory Green, SPHR, GPHR who passed away in 2011. The awards have been funded by SHRM Foundation contributions made in Gregory’s name.
Green was chair of the HR Certification Institute board in 2006, after previously serving on the SHRM board of directors and the SHRM Global Forum board during the 1990s. As a passionate advocate for HR certification, Green was instrumental in helping to develop the Global Professional in Human Resources (GPHR) certification, and was among the first HR professionals to take and pass the GPHR exam when it was first introduced in 2004.
To honor Gregory Green’s work and encourage more HR professionals to obtain the GPHR designation, the SHRM Foundation will present two one-time, R. Gregory Green GPHR scholarship awards of $1,200 each to deserving SHRM members. Each scholarship will cover the cost of both the test preparation materials and the exam fee for the GPHR.
All applications must be submitted online. You may begin the online application process, create a user account to save your work and then complete the process at a later date. Your application must be completed and submitted by July 16 to be considered for an award. All applicants will be notified of results by October 15.
