San Antonio SHRM ART EDGARIAN/CHARLES UMSCHEID Scholarship Award

The Art Edgarian / Charles Umscheid Scholarship is awarded twice a year in recognition of Art Edgarian and Charles Umscheid who were two key San Antonio SHRM contributors. 

  • Art Edgarian former president of SAPMA (San Antonio Personnel Management Association), one of San Antonio SHRM's predecessors was dedicated to developing the human resource profession and students.  In addition to his efforts at SAPMA, Art made a significant contribution to St. Mary’s University as the Director of Placement.  As a result of his contributions, several students were able to locate that first “great job.”
  • Charles Umscheid, as a former St. Mary’s graduate, valued student participation with HR practitioners.  He was instrumental in establishing a program in our association that allowed college students to spend time on the job with human resource managers to gain “hands-on” experience.  Charles was also responsible for establishing the first student chapter of the American Society for Personnel Association here in San Antonio.

The scholarship award is $1,000 dollars for each student selected.  There will be one scholarship awarded in the Fall and one in the Spring.
