William E. Haas Scholarship Fund

Bill Haas did in 1979 and he is still making a difference to this day.

Almost 30 years ago William E. Haas, former Procurement Officer at Duke University spearheaded a campaign for a scholarship fund to help members attend professional development courses. Professional development helps foster procurement practices that are at the leading edge, and that enable our membership to continually respond to the changing needs and goals of their universities with strategies that work.

Since it's inception in 1979, the William E Haas Scholarship Fund has granted scholarships to over 150 members. We've come a long way since those early days when Bill Haas used his own money to help seed this fund. In 2006 we were able to increase the grants by providing a $1,000 scholarship to each of our 19 regions on a bi-annual basis due to generous donations and wise stewardship of these funds.
