Industry Scholarships

Scholarships are open to individuals currently working in, or interested in joining, the industry. Awards are available to both the public with no income restrictions.
SC&RA members may also apply for the Company Training (CT) Grant, which helps offset the cost of group or on-site employee training. Applications are accepted year-round, with a quick review and award process—ideal for companies looking to train teams without delay.
