Scholarship Committee

The Scholarship Committee was formed primarily to oversee the award of scholarships to aspiring teachers. The committee accepts applications, judges their merits, chooses recipients based on set standards, and, at the May meeting of the CCREA, awards the scholarship(s) to the recipient(s). The committee is also responsible for the raising of monies to support the scholarship fund. It does this primarily by means of individual donations from members, but also by special fund-generating events.
