Willmoore H. Kendall Scholarship Application

The Club Foundation

The Club Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization was established by CMAA in 1988 to raise funds to financially support the professional development of club managers through education, training and research initiatives.  In 2001, the Willmoore H. Kendall Scholarship Fund was established in memory of CMAA Past President Mr. Bill Kendall.  The purpose of this scholarship is to provide tuition support to assistant club managers interested in pursuing the Certified Club Manager (CCM) designation.

Scholarship Awards

The Club Foundation will award scholarships annually, based on the availability of funds and merit of application.  In order to help recipients meet certification requirements and prepare them for the CCM exam, each scholarship will include the fees (except travel expenses) associated with the following programs:

  • BMI I;
  • BMI II;
  • BMI III;
  • Certification Review Course (including Study Guide); and
  • CCM Exam Fees

Scholarship awards will be granted based on recommendations made by The Club Foundation Allocation Committee and approved by The Club Foundation Board of Governors.

Who Should Apply?

Any CMAA member who is dedicated to attaining the CCM designation and is currently an assistant manager is invited to apply for the scholarship.

Criteria

  • Candidates must be a member of CMAA, an assistant manager, actively pursuing the CCM designation, and have at least one BMI course remaining to complete.
  • Candidates must be nominated for the scholarship by their chapter.

PLEASE NOTE:  Due to the number of high-quality applications we receive and because a limited number of scholarships are available each year, we recommend that applicants use all of their available resources to deliver the most superior application possible.  Complete applications, including all required documentation and recommendations, should be submitted to the applicant’s Chapter by November 1, 2007.
