Applications Open for SoVTYPs Professional Development Grant


Southern Vermont Young Professionals (SoVTYPs) is excited to launch the 2023 professional development grant program. SoVTYPs is offering its members the chance to apply for up to $500 towards activities that will advance their career goals.

In its third year, the grant program has been redesigned with several goals in mind:

  • Build awareness of existing educational and professional development resources
  • Develop members’ skills in accessing professional development resources
  • Provide flexible or complementary funding to fill gaps

In order to be considered, applicants must be SoVTYPs members (see below). Then a letter of intent must be submitted no later than 1/8/23.  Learn more and apply here: https://brattleborodevelopment.com/professional-development-grant-program/#1668798340095-03cae6e7-f27d

The 2023 SoVTYPs grant follows a successful 2022 pilot and launch of a new paid membership and fundraising model. In addition to the grant program, other membership benefits include event discounts and special promotions. Businesses and organizations can support professional development grants and get some great perks by joining on as sponsors.
