    William & Eleanor Curtin Scholarship Fund

    The Curtin Scholarship is a nonprofit educational scholarship sponsored by the National Amtelco Equipment Owners (NAEO). The fund recognizes the immense contributions the Curtins have made to the messaging industry, and their lifelong mission to educate and inspire their valued customers. Mr. and Mrs. Curtin, the founders of Amtelco, consistently provided the products, the vision, and the techniques to greatly advance our industry.

    As entrepreneurs, they were present at the beginning of the Telecommunications revolution, arguably one of the most significant events of the second half of the 20th Century. NAEO offers this scholarship to individuals who demonstrate similar entrepreneurial traits. The applicant should be a motivated, curious individual who has chosen Telecommunications as a career.

    The recipient will receive:

    • A $500.00 cash award to be used to attend a conference or educational course or for the development of an innovative approach to call center management in his or her office. (Examples: Call Center Seminar, College Management Course or software purchase to develop a quality assurance program).

    In exchange the recipient will:

    • Write an article for Newslinks within a year of the receipt of the award detailing his or her experience and discoveries
    • Winners are also encouraged to share their results with the NAEO membership through webinars, the NAEO website and participation in the annual conference
    • Join and be an active member of an NAEO committee

    Criteria:

    • Applicant is an owner of or has been employed by a NAEO Member Company and in a senior management or higher level employment position.
    • Applicant desires to educate him/herself by taking a class or attending a seminar or workshop which will serve to enhance their skills in the call center.
    • Applicant agrees to share knowledge gained with others in the call center upon their return.
    • Applicant understands the funds are to be used for the cost to attend, including tuition/ registration fees, books and reasonable travel expenses if any.
      (Should you have any questions regarding this criterion please contact the NAEO Executive Director)
    • Applicant will be encouraged to write up a synopsis of their experience in order to allow the Newslinks editor to craft an article about their experience.

    Christina Collins Educational Scholarship Fund

    The Christina Collins Educational Scholarship Fund was established in loving memory of Christina Collins by the Board of Directors of the National Amtelco Equipment Owners. Christina owned and operated a telemessaging bureau prior to joining Amtelco as a TAS consultant. She assisted several EVE owners with the schematics and design of their offices. Her commitment to this industry was demonstrated by freely sharing her expertise. Christina was a highly respected individual with great integrity and a strong sense of loyalty to the NAEO membership. As she was also a great advocate of education, the NAEO Board has established this annual scholarship award in her honor.

    The scholarship will be bestowed on a worthy employee from a NAEO member’s office for the sole purpose of attending the annual NAEO conference or any other seminar or training sponsored by NAEO (registration fee, up to three nights lodging and up to $20 per diem for meals) within 18 months from the date awarded.

    This scholarship is available to all, regardless of financial need.

    In addition to filling out the application below, you must have your employer fill out the appropriate fields on the following form and fax it to 800-809-6374. Without this additional form submission, your application will be disqualified.

    Michael Goumas Scholarship Fund

    The Michael Goumas Scholarship represents the spirit of creativity, continual learning and sharing.

    Michael was never satisfied with his knowledge of Intelligent Series, he continuously explored its features and pushed actively for improvements. Most importantly he was always expanding the envelope of what it could do, what problems it could solve and how it could benefit others. The ideal recipient of this scholarship is passionate about expanding and sharing their system knowledge. They have a problem solver's mindset and care deeply about making things that help deliver amazing customer service.

    This scholarship will grant the recipient paid registration at the NAEO Summer Series Workshop — airfare (max $500) and hotel will also be covered (courtesy of AnswerFirst) if it is hosted in-person.
