Legacy Fund Award
The Alberta Professional Planners Institute is offering a monetary award to assist Regulated members with expenses incurred to attend and present at a national or international conference OR undertake planning research and/or the documentation of planning research and sharing of that research.
The research award MAY be used to fulfill post-secondary requirements at the PhD level and postdoctoral student research but not for an academic’s research in the normal course of a position for which they receive financial compensation.
Priority will be given to applications that advance excellence in planning and relate their presentation or research to Alberta, Nunavut, or the Northwest Territories.
Award winners will receive between $1,000 - $3,000.
Who can apply?
The Legacy Fund Award is open to all Regulated APPI members in good standing. Applicants may submit for both options but can only win one award.
The deadline for submissions is 3:00 PM Thursday, March 16, 2023
APPI is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. Those individuals who identify as First Nations, Inuit, Métis, LGBTQ2S+, persons with disabilities, women and other equity deserving groups, are encouraged to apply for these awards.
