Students, new or experienced appraisers, or any individual wanting to further their educational development in the area of personal property appraising may apply for the scholarship. Scholarships are awarded to cover the costs for tuition of courses, classes, workshops, programs or conferences and do not include travel, hotel or other associated expenses.
