Scholarship

In an effort to appreciate our members and their families, the CCRA sponsors a scholarship program.  The application criteria are outlined below and the form can be downloaded from this page.  Please adhere to all deadlines in an effort to process the scholarships in a timely manner.

The CCRA Scholarship Program will award scholarships to spouses and children of CCRA members.

The term “children” in this program is defined as follows: natural, or legally adopted children, stepchildren and legal wards.

More than one family member may apply, however each applicant must submit an individual application and supporting documentation.

Applicants must be enrolled or planning to enroll at accredited post secondary schools.  Children must be full-time students, spouses may be enrolled as part-time students.

All phases of the program are independently managed by Scholarship Managers (SM), a national, non-profit organization with extensive experience in the management of scholarship programs.

The program will award non-renewable scholarships for full-time and part-time students.  The number, as well as the size of the scholarships may vary from year to year.

The students may be enrolled, or planning to enroll, in an accredited college or university in a program of undergraduate studies.  All schools must be accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education.

All applicants will be notified of their status on or about the beginning of May each year.  Recipients must notify SM of acceptance of the award within thirty (30) days of notification or the award will be forfeited.

SM will send the award checks to the students’ home addresses on or about the beginning of July each year.  The checks will be made payable to the college the student plans to attend.

Scholarships may be held for a reasonable period of time in the case of an approved leave of absence, or a serious illness or injury that interrupts studies.  Students must notify SM immediately should any of these, or other unusual circumstances, arise.
