Scholarships
The Scholarship Fund is designed to support members who would benefit from financial assistance in order to pursue professional development courses. The scholarship fund is made up of member donations (made at the time of dues renewal) along with equal funds matched by CASI on a monthly basis.
CASI and all recipients would like to thank everyone who has donated to the CASI Scholarship Fund.
