Scholar to Leader: APA Foundation Impact

Join us in the Career Center for an inside look at the American Planning Association Foundation Scholarship program. Foundation Coordinator Teddy Hedrick will share practical tips on crafting a compelling personal statement, demonstrating financial need, securing strong letters of recommendation, and responding effectively to impact and additional context questions, while Max Sokol, AICP-recipient of the 2011 Charles Abram Scholarship and now Director of Capital Construction for the Hudson Tunnel Project at Amtrak-reflects on how the scholarship shaped his professional network, opened doors, and influenced his long-term career trajectory. In this discussion, you'll gain application "tips and tricks" and a powerful example of how Foundation support can accelerate your path from student to leader in the planning profession.
