Code of Honor Scholarship Group B Now Open

The ICC Foundation Code of Honor (COH) has opened the application database for the Group B Final Action Hearings in Charlotte from October 24–October 31 and will remain open until July 30 at 5 p.m. EDT.

Individuals who applied for Group A and were not selected are encouraged to reapply for Group B, and the Foundation is pleased to announce that the ICC Board of Directors has removed the "first-time attendee" requirement for the matching scholarship. The new Match Scholarship is available for Group B at this time.

The Match Scholarship now accepts a 1-to-1 Match from the Chapter, Jurisdiction or personal funds. The Match Scholarship also removes the first-time attendee requirement. All other scholarship requirements remain the same.

Please remember that the entire application process is online and only completed applications will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis, so it is critical to apply as early as possible.

The Code of Honor Scholarship Program details are available online. Contact the Foundation Team at (888) 422-7233, ext. 4223 if you need any additional information or assistance.

Run or Walk to Help Support the "Code of Honor" Scholarship Program

We invite you to participate in our new Code of Honor Run/Walk, sponsored by the ICC Foundation, Sunday, October 24, in Charlotte, North Carolina, during ICC's Annual Conference. This year we have redesigned our former 5K Fun Run as a Run/Walk to raise funds to support attendance at our code hearings. So whether you choose to run or walk, you'll have a great time and an opportunity to help raise funds for the Code of Honor professional development scholarship program.

Runners and walkers are asked to solicit supporters who will sponsor them by making donations to the Code of Honor scholarship program, created by the ICC Foundation. To participate, simply check the Run/Walk option when you register for the 2010 ICC Annual Conference. Then visit the ICC Annual Conference website to obtain the necessary forms. Participants must collect a minimum of $100.00 in donations.
