Scholarships

Heartland EDC offers one Jenny Overhue/Heartland Scholarship per state through each participating state's economic development association (Kansas Economic Development Alliance, Professional Developers of Iowa, Missouri Economic Development Council, Nebraska Economic Developers Association, Oklahoma Professional Economic Development Council (OEDC) and South Dakota Governor's Office of Economic Development.). Interested attendees are encouraged to contact their state's economic development association about this scholarship, as well as utility partners for information on other possible scholarships or tuition assistance that may be applied toward the Heartland Economic Development Course. Attendees are responsible for all registration fees. Those receiving non-Heartland scholarships should work directly with the scholarship provider for reimbursement of fees paid.

PLEASE REGISTER BEFORE CONFIRMING ANY SCHOLARSHIP - spaces in the course fill up rapidly and receiving a scholarship does not guarantee a spot on the class roster.  Please contact us if you have any questions about how the scholarship process works.
