Podcast: The Jane N. Ryland Fellowship Program

This seven-minute podcast features information about the Jane N. Ryland Fellowship program. This EDUCAUSE grant program was established to expand opportunities for information technology professionals with a financial need to attend EDUCAUSE events, thus helping to build future leaders.

Awards are made on an annual basis, in amounts that will substantially or fully meet the costs of attending one EDUCAUSE educational event that aligns with the professional needs of the applicant and the strategic directions of his or her institution. Fellows select the event of their choice from among the eligible EDUCAUSE offerings described in this brochure. Grant monies are applied first to registration fees, then to transportation and housing costs.

Institutions need not be EDUCAUSE members. While more than one candidate from the same institution may be considered in a single award year, priority will be placed on distributing fellowship opportunities broadly. The selection committee will consider applications from outside the United States, but grant resources and event programming limit our ability to support international needs.

The application deadline for 2009 awards is Monday, November 3, 2008.
