The CXR Foundation awards the INSPIRE Scholarship to a U.S. resident who is connected to someone working in the talent industry and who is/will be attending an accredited, U.S. college or university. Working in the talent industry is defined as a person in any role within corporate recruiting, human resources, talent acquisition or talent management or a vendor in any of those spaces.
The CXR Foundation also offers the Russ Mountain Memorial Scholarship to a U.S. resident who is a rising junior or senior college student who has a passion for the field of Recruiting and Talent Acquisition and plans to pursue a job in the field following graduation. Unlike the INSPIRE Scholarship, the Russ Mountain Memorial Scholarship does not require applicants to have connections with people working in the talent acquisition industry.
