Scholarship Winners:
Jacqueline Cossairt, Ferris State University
"I am honored to receive the RHT/AITP Scholarship and am very grateful as
it will greatly assist in the pursuance of my degree in Computer Information
Systems at Ferris State University. Not only being a member of my
university's AITP organization but being the Web Design Committee Team
Leader has benefited me greatly as a student. It has not only allowed me to
gain valuable experience but has allowed me to network with other students
pursuing IT degrees, professors, employers and their employees. The
experience I have gained and the acquaintances I have made through AITP have
helped me obtain my internship for this summer. I would highly recommend
that all students pursuing an IT related degrees join AITP as it is equally
important to network and gain experience as it is to gain knowledge from
course work."

excellent platform to network with other IT professionals and students as
well as stay at par with the cutting edge development in the IT industry. I
am really privileged to be recognized by Robert Half Technology and AITP for
my involvement in the organizational activities and it is my great honor to

2009 RobertHalf Technology/AITP $2,500 Scholarship
Winners:
Stephanie Semmel, Purdue University
I am so grateful to be selected by Robert Half Technology and AITP as one of
this year’s scholarship recipients. I am very honored to be a member of AITP
and I am humbled to have been recognized by both this amazing association
and the Robert Half Technology. My involvement with AITP at my chapter’s
level has been hard work, yet enjoyable and rewarding as this scholarship
proves. Attending the National Collegiate Conferences has been a highlight
of each year I have come and I am proud that AITP is continuing to support
and train tomorrow’s IT leaders. Thanks again, Robert Half Technology and
AITP!
Thank you again so much; I am extremely grateful. I’m also looking forward
to next year’s NCC!
Mitch Paschen, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater
"Thank you to Robert Half Technology and AITP for
helping me to pursue my higher education. I have been an AITP member since
my freshman year of college, and have slowly moved up the ranks to now be
president of our chapter. It is a great honor to be one of only two people
in AITP to receive this award. AITP has helped show me aspects of business
that I could never learn in the classroom such as business networking.
Inviting speakers during our meetings gave me a chance to talk to people in
the IT work force and get a feel for what it is like. AITP has helped me
prepare for the interviews that have landed me my summer internship in
Washington DC. I have heard Robert Half speak at several meetings and in
fact, it was one of their representatives that encouraged me to apply for
this scholarship in the first place. I have enjoyed being an AITP member
and will continue to do so. Again, I would like to thank AITP for working
with Robert Half Technologies to help further my education."
2008 RobertHalf Technology/AITP $2,500 Scholarship
Winners:
Grant Newman, Central Michigan University
As a three-year member of AITP it is an incredible honor to be selected
for a Robert Half Technology/AITP scholarship award. Not only is this an
incredible blessing towards my tuition, but it is also a great opportunity
for me to share my positive experiences in AITP with current and potential
members back here on the campus of Central Michigan University; proof and
encouragement that working hard and pouring into AITP is a rewarding
commitment. I have grown immensely as a student and future professional
through my involvement with AITP and I can't wait to use this scholarship to
the fullest extent during my last semesters at CMU. Thank you Robert Half
Technology and AITP!
Michael Koehler, Delta State University
Words cannot express how it feels to be one of only two people selected
to receive the 2008 Robert Half Technology/AITP scholarship. It’s a
tremendous honor to be recognized by such prominent organizations. The
generosity and commitment they show toward students is absolutely
incredible, and the opportunities they provide for students like me to
interact and network with other IT professionals can’t be beaten. The past
few years with AITP has helped me develop professionally, and reinforced my
dedication to the ideals of scholastic achievement and personal integrity.
With only a year left in my undergraduate career, I’m looking forward to
becoming a professional member of AITP and giving back to the next
generation of information technology professionals. Thanks again, Robert
Half Technology and AITP!
2007 Robert Half Technology/AITP $2,500 Scholarship Winners:
Daniel Fowler, Tarleton State University
First off, thank you Robert Half Technology and AITP for forming the
alliance and hosting the national conference which gives a chance for future
IT professionals like myself to demonstrate our skills and network with
current IT professionals. The RHT scholarship will help reduce the
increasing cost of tuition and reminds me that IT professionals like RHT are
aware of our efforts in continuing our professional development through
organizations such as AITP. I will continue to be a part of AITP as a
professional member and I look forward to working for an organization that
gives back such as RHT. Thank you!
James Conley, Gateway Technical College
I would like to take the time to thank Robert Half Technology and the
Association of Information Technology Professionals for awarding me the 2007
RHT/AITP scholarship award. It means so much to me in furthering my
education. It feels good to know that if you put in hard work and
dedication that someone will recognize your efforts. The scholarship
leaves me rejuvenated and motivated to achieve excellence. The AITP
National Collegiate Conference was great as always, it really helps to
network and get the latest technology and information form AITP members.
I want to give a personal Thank You to Katherine Spencer Lee, Kevin Jetton,
Gateway Technical College, my friends and family for supporting me and
making my journey back to college an experience of a life time. I
spent 18 years in the automotive industry until my job was shipped overseas.
Going back to college was a big decision for me at the age of forty. I
wanted a career and not just a dead end job. I can not find the words
to express the gratitude and appreciation that I feel by receiving this
scholarship. I hope one day that I can reach and guide a child,
student, adult, dislocated worker or anyone that needs encouragement and
support when they get ready to reach for excellence!
p.s. AITP Member for Life!
2006 Robert Half Technology/AITP $2,500 Scholarship Winners:
Gary "Tim" Bondurant, University of Redlands
"It meant a great deal to me to be recognized by my AITP peers and the
working professionals of Robert Half Technology. An incredible confidence
comes from knowing that you are supported by your colleagues in the
industry. Thank you so very much."
Michael Knudson, Texas A&M University
“I’m extremely proud to be one of only two recipients in the nation to
receive the Robert Half Technology/AITP scholarship. It made me realize how
important AITP is as an organization of information technology professionals
willing to help out students. This generous scholarship has allowed me to
focus on being active in my campus student chapter of AITP, rather than
having to get a part time job to help pay for tuition. AITP is great way for
students to bridge the classroom experience with the real world of companies
and their recruiters.”
