Staff Professional Development Fund

At Georgia State University, we understand the value of ongoing learning and professional growth. That's why the Staff Council Professional Development Fund exists—to provide staff members with up to $400 in financial assistance for a variety of professional development activities. These include workshops, seminars, conferences, certifications, resources, and continuing education offered by respected professional organizations or work-related courses.

Your contribution to this fund has a direct and lasting impact. Each spring and fall funds are provided to 3-5 staff members who are eager to grow, contribute, and make a difference within their departments and the university as a whole. By supporting these initiatives, you are not only investing in the individual staff member but also in the overall success and advancement of Georgia State University.

This fund fuels the development of our most valuable asset—our people. The knowledge and skills gained through these professional opportunities directly benefit our staff, departments, and the entire university community.

We invite you to join us in making this vision a reality. With your support, we can empower Georgia State staff to achieve their fullest potential. Donate today and help provide essential resources for those who strive to make an impact. Together, we can foster an environment of excellence and continuous improvement.
