    About the Fund

    The ASI SMART Company Scholarship Fund was established in 2006 to encourage the professional education of individuals working in the not-for-profit sector.

    Advanced Solutions International (ASI) is the leading provider of software solutions to the not-for-profit sector. ASI's flagship product, iMIS, provides the only membership, fundraising and website management solution in one upgradeable software suite.

    In the past three years more than 70 individuals have benefited from the fund.

    Funding Available

    The ASI SMART Company Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance in the form of scholarships and education subsidies up to $25,000 (up to $2,000 per individual) per year in three program parts. The study that the applicant intends undertaking must be directly relevant to their professional development in the not-for-profit sector.

    Scholarship Program Parts

    ASI ‘SMART Company’ Scholarship Funds are available in three program parts:

    • Part A – Fully Funded Education Scholarships
    • Part B – Education Subsidies for ASI Customers
    • Part C – Education Grants for ASI Customers

    Eligibility

    In order to be eligible to receive scholarships, applicants must be Australian or New Zealand citizens or have permanent residency status and be full-time or permanent part-time employees. For selected scholarships (Program Part B & C), applicants must be full-time employees or permanent part-time employees of organisations that are ASI customers (using iMIS software) who are current with their annual Software Update Plan at the time of the application closing date.

    When to Apply

    Applications are reviewed quarterly (March, June, September and December) by the Review Panel. Applications can be lodged at any time and should include written evidence from their employer stating the employer's support for the application. Applicants awarded a Scholarship in a previous round are welcome to apply for funding again. Unsuccessful applicants from previous rounds are encouraged to apply again.

    All successful applicants will be required to submit a 300-word report describing what they learnt from the program to ASI no later than four weeks after program completion.  All reports will be published to www.asismartcompany.com.
