Chapter stipends to support member travel
ESP pays ONE $500 travel stipend per chapter to reimburse a portion of the expenses required to attend the Extension Leadership Conference. You do not request this payment.
Chapters must have at least one member fully participate in the entire conference to receive financial support. The National Board will document attendance and request payments on behalf of eligible chapters. Checks will be issued within four weeks of conference payable to the Chapter and mailed to the Chapter Treasurer.
Public Issues Leadership Development Conference (PILD)
PILD Scholarships for ESP Members
Epsilon Sigma Phi, through the ESP Development Fund, has established the PILD Scholarship for eligible members to attend the Public Issues Leadership Development National Conference in order to become informed about and develop skills in responding to public issues and legislative matters affecting Extension programs and personal needs. The scholarship is to be used to defray the cost of attending the Public Issues Leadership Development Conference. Four scholarships of $600.00 each will be awarded annually.
