Are you planning to transfer for the Spring 2012 or Fall 2012 semester? Be sure to apply for the Michael Rood Transfer Opportunity Scholarship, offered by the New England Region Alumni Association, which can give you $100 to cover the cost of transfer applications! The application is very simple and can be found by clicking here. All that is needed is a 500-word essay and a letter of recommendation from a chapter adviser. Those two items, along with the linked form, must be received by February 20, 2012.

The scholarship is named for Michael Rood, long-time adviser to the Alpha Lambda Zeta chapter of Asnuntuck Community College. He is also a member of the Regional Advisory Board and former regional coordinator. Through his advising within his own chapter and his presentations at regional events, Dr. Rood has helped literally thousands of Phi Theta Kappa members prepare for transfer admission.

Again, the deadline has been extended to February 20th, so please spread the word to your fellow members now! If you have any questions, contact NERA co-adviser Diane Hutchins.
