The NAHR Foundation has partnered with the SHRM Foundation to fund the NAHR/SHRM Graduate Student Scholarships. NAHR funds 10 scholarships of $7,500 each year. The NAHR Foundation funds the Scholarship and the SHRM Foundation uses their highly effective selection process to determine the Scholarship recipients. Graduate student scholarship beneficiaries must be enrolled in a master’s degree program clearly pursuing an emphasis on HR or HR related programs.  Judging criteria for the scholarship is based on a combined percentage of SHRM student chapter involvement and/or commitment to the HR profession (35%), academic achievement (30%), additional leadership and service activities or work experience (25%), and financial need (10%).

SHRM's application process for the Scholarship begins each January.
