​

What is the benefit of attending ACCRTA sponsored trainings?

​

Cost/Budget?

-ACCRTA provides an opportunity to all members to apply for a scholarship that goes toward the cost of registration of attending ACCRTA sponsored workshops/educational training. To be eligible an applicant must be a current member of ACCRTA.

​

-ACCRTA's fiscal year runs from July through June of the following year.
