Two $750.00 educational scholarships are available to be awarded at the 20th Annual AACPM Professional Development Conference in September. Any Academy member enrolled in a college program to further his or her education in the field of public service is eligible to apply for these scholarships. Applicants must submit an application form and two letters of recommendation. Member Societies are encouraged to identify candidates from their membership and to encourage those members to apply.

The scholarship is named for Fran Wilkinson, an early leader in CPM. Fran was dedicated to professional and adult education. She was president of the Georgia Society in 1983 and Chair of the National CPM Consortium in 1987. Fran died unexpectedly on June 6, 1990. In 1994, the House of Delegates voted unanimously to name the Academy’s annual scholarship “The Fran L. Wilkinson Memorial Scholarship” as a token of remembrance, affection, and esteem.
