There are only TWO more days to apply for STC’s Recovery Packages for members in need. For the 2010 membership year, STC will award dues subsidies to up to 400 members affected by the economic recession. The awards will include up to 100 Full Recovery Packages and up to 300 Subsidy Recovery Packages.
The Full Recovery Package is a $215 credit for Basic membership, while the Subsidy Recovery Package is $65–the difference between the dues amount for 2010 and the former 2009 dues rate ($215-$150). For full details on who is eligible for these packages and how to apply, see the STC website.
Please note that the recovery packages are available only for renewing members, not new members. All applications must be received by 5 PM EST (GMT-5) Thursday, 31 December 2009, and candidates will be notified via email by 11 February 2010 whether or not they have been selected. STC offices are closed 31 December and 1 January, but all applicants will receive confirmation of their application by 5 January 2010.
Funding of the Recovery and Subsidy Packages is provided by the Marion Norby Scholarship Fund.
