SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The NACRC Annual and Legislative Conferences are value-packed opportunities for county recorders, election officials and clerks to learn about the latest industry trends and to network and socialize with colleagues.

The association has created a scholarship fund to provide assistance to NACRC members who otherwise might be unable to attend the conferences. The 2007-08 Scholarship Committee hopes to award two scholarships: one for each conference. Applications are now being accepted.
