Apra Maryland is passionate about providing high quality professional development regardless of financial situations. Based on this principle, we strongly believe in making our content accessible to as many people as possible. While currently the majority of our offerings are free and open to all, there are some unique benefits of membership – including access to webinar recordings and our job board.

In this spirit, we welcome applications for the Stephen Hardy Professional Development Scholarship, which provides one year of annual membership. It is named in memory of the late Dr. Stephen G. Hardy, former Director of Advancement Services at Salisbury University. As a dedicated Maryland fundraising professional, Stephen was a staunch proponent of the importance and value of continuing education for prospect development professionals. Stephen died unexpectedly in August 2020, but his legacy lives on.
