Scholarships for Members

The Mid-Atlantic Association for Court Management (MAACM) is dedicated to advancing the fair and effective administration of justice through exceptional court management. As part of our commitment to supporting the professional growth of court professionals, MAACM offers scholarships to help members access high-quality continuing education. These opportunities are designed to promote knowledge-sharing, foster networking among peers, and ensure that professional development remains accessible and affordable for all. Whether you’re attending our annual conference or pursuing advanced training through the ICM Fellows Program, our scholarships are here to support your journey.
