WARUCC Assistantship Award Application

Introduction
WARUCC Assistantships were established in 1991 to assist members undertaking professional development, research, education or other professional activities that will be of benefit to the registrarial profession. Examples of WARUCC Assistantship-appropriate professional development include: attending computer seminars, communications courses, personnel seminars, marketing and research, publication, management skills, team building skills, and conflict management skills. The Assistantships are not intended to finance attendance at WARUCC conferences.

Eligibility Criteria
Assistantships shall be limited to full and full-voting members of WARUCC
who have been involved in a registrarial function for a minimum of two years.

Applicants must have demonstrated to their Registrar/Director a clear and proven interest as well as a potential to make a valuable contribution to the registrarial profession. The Registrar/Director must endorse the application before the WARUCC Awards Committee can consider it.

Number and Value
WARUCC has allocated up to $5,000 annually to support the Assistantship
programme. The specific number and value of awards made in any year depend upon the number of supportable applications and the funding requests associated with them. Member institutions will be expected to cover the full value of an award until the professional development activity is complete (see application procedures below), then WARUCC will disperse the Assistantship in one installment, by cheque, to the recipient's institution.

Awards Committee
The Awards Committee shall comprise the four Provincial WARUCC
Members-at-Large and WARUCC's immediate Past-President, who shall chair the committee. If a Member-at-Large applies for an Assistantship then that Member-at-Large abstains from the discussion and decision of granting the award.

Application Procedures
Completed application forms must be submitted by the applicant by 30 April to the
applicant's Registrar/Director, who must endorse the application in writing for the application to be considered by the WARUCC Awards Committee. Late applications may be considered if funds are available.

Endorsed applications must be forwarded by the applicant's Registrar/Director by 15 May to the appropriate Member-at-Large.

Received applications will be circulated by the appropriate Member-at-Large by 1 June to the other members of the Awards Committee.

The Awards Committee will review and consider all the award applications it receives and make final decisions. The Chair of the Awards Committee shall contact all applicants and advise them of the results with copies to the applicant's Registrar/Director and the WARUCC Secretary and Treasurer.

A summary of the applicant's professional development activities and learning, completed as a result of the Assistantship must be submitted to the recipient's Member-at-Large within six months of the project's completion.

Where possible, no institution will receive more than one Assistantship at one time to ensure distribution across WARUCC institutions.

WARUCC Assistantship Award recipients are expected to present their project's results at the next WARUCC Conference as a conference paper for presentation or general circulation, in order to provide feedback to the Association.
