Who
wants to be a millionaire? Well, just about everyone we assume. However,
the CMC can't quite afford to be that generous. What we can offer is
a $3,000 scholarship to anyone who's currently enjoying success in the
magazine industry but feels they would like to advance their career
through industry-related course work, conferences or travel. And since
the only stipulation is that you're a CMC member, that means anyone
who's currently up to date with their dues is eligible to apply!
The
CMC Scholarship exists to promote the career development for an individual
within Canadian publishing who has demonstrated a commitment to the
magazine community and a willingness to continue on that same path.
With budgets under constant pressure, the CMC has recognized the need
for additional funding to help those who want to attend major publishing
programmes and conferences. Established in 1989, the $3,000 award is
presented each year to a CMC member for intensive circulation or publishing
workshop programmes.
And
judging from the enthusiastic comments from past winners, the programme
has been and continues to be an unqualified success.
"I
am very grateful to the CMC and its 5 sponsors. Winning the CMC
Scholarship in 2005 enabled me to travel with Stanford University to
China - a country where there is so much potential and opportunity.
On
the trip, I met incredible publishers from all over the world and I
continue to build on those relationships today. I have built a
foundation and opened doors that will last a lifetime. I hope to one
day share this knowledge with other circulators and secondly - apply
what I have learned in my day to day duties."
- Tuppy Blair, 2005 CMC Scholarship recipient,
now Circulation Director at CCMC.
"I
am grateful to the CMC for helping me get to the Stanford Professional
Publishing Course. I encourage others to get there if possible. I also
encourage people to apply for the CMC Scholarship. Take advantage of
this excellent career development opportunity."
- Wayne Leek, 1998 CMC Scholarship recipient,
now at LCBO Food & Drink Magazine.
"Winning
the CMC Scholarship ... has opened many doors and led to even bigger
dreams. While I can't expect the CMC to do anything about my budget,
the courses and seminars I've attended compliments of the CMC Scholarship
have made my goals more attainable."
- Kate MacDougall, 1996 CMC Scholarship
recipient, now Consumer Marketing Manager, Flare Magazine.
