Professional Education Grants

DBC’s Professional Education Grant was launched in the 2023-24 term to provide financial support for 1+ active or student member to participate in a CPE or non-CPE educational opportunity of their choosing.

Total number of grants and awarded amount may vary each year. In 2024, 1 grant was awarded (1 active $750).

This grant application generally opens in February of each year, with volunteers from the DBC leadership team evaluating and selecting the awardees through a blinded review process. Check back here or stay tuned to the latest info in DBC’s monthly Take 5 newsletter.
