    Scholarship Opportunity

    Conference attendance allows people to meet one another, as well as learn and discuss issues and ideas relevant to their work. We also believe in the development of the profession of a Municipal Clerk, and to do so requires a diversity in attributes, experiences and perspectives.

    To help break down barriers that may prevent various individuals from attending the Conference, the AMCA Conference Scholarship Program supports applicants who contribute to the Conference program, as well as applicants who can demonstrate that they will transfer the skills and knowledge acquired at the Conference to the work they do in their organizations and communities, as well as to the development of the profession of a Municipal Clerk.

    The AMCA is proud to offer Conference scholarships to annual Conferences each year. These scholarships are provided to cover the cost of registration for the Conference, as well as hotel accommodations at the host hotel for up to three (3) consecutive nights. No reimbursements will be provided for any other expenses incurred while attending the Conference.

    Applications are now open for the 2026 Conference Scholarship and will be received until January 31, 2026.
