Heidi Sibben Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Heidi Sibben Memorial Scholarship was created to provide continuing education opportunities to MNSWAP members. Heidi Sibben, a pioneer in the early development of Minnesota’s Activity Professionals Association, was instrumental in promoting education opportunities and professional growth to Activity Professionals working in aging services. Through contributions from members and other sources, MNSWAP is able to offer several scholarships each year for continuing education.
