Rohr Scholarship Available for PA Grad Students

The Section on Public Law and Administration (SPLA) is accepting nominations for its 2013 John A. Rohr Scholarship in Public Administration and Law. SPLA advances recognition of the importance of laws and governance. Dr. Rohr’s work contributed to the field of both public administration and political science, leading scholars and practitioners to a greater understanding of how law affects public administration and the responsibilities of public administrators in their jobs as implementers of the Constitution.

This scholarship supports a graduate student’s attendance at the ASPA Annual Conference. The 2013 Annual Conference will be held in New Orleans, LA. Students who are interested in the pursuit of practice and research in the field of public administration and law are encouraged to apply.

The applicant must be a current student in a graduate program in public administration. The candidate should submit a letter of application and one letter of reference.

The candidate’s letter of application must (1) describe the candidate’s research interests or practice experiences in the areas of public administration, law and the courts, and (2) describe how attending this conference would aid the personal and professional goals of the candidate, and (3) include contact information (address, phone and e-mail).

The reference letter from the faculty member needs to (1) confirm that the applicant is a current graduate student in the public administration program and (2) address how attending this conference would benefit this student.
