Did you know that each year, ACCRTA invests more than $10,000 in its members by offering scholarships to help cover the cost of professional training and conference attendance? Every ACCRTA member is eligible to apply, and scholarships are designed to support those who want to deepen their knowledge, grow in their roles, and bring new skills back to their communities.

The first scholarship recipients of 2026 were Mark Chandler, Clerk/Treasurer of Marked Tree, and Joy Maly, Recorder/Treasurer of Mansfield. They attended the March 5 MCI Workshop in Russellville.

These scholarship opportunities are made possible through year-round fund-raising led by the Fund-Raising Chair. Funds come from raffles, 50/50 drawings, ACCRTA merchandise sales, silent auctions, and other member-supported activities.

If you’re planning to attend training, pursue additional education, or participate in a conference this year, don’t miss your chance to apply. Details and application instructions are available at this site's Scholarship page, in the Resources section.

Invest in yourself — ACCRTA is ready to support your journey!
