Every year, the Association awards up to six $2,000 scholarships to deserving students from the two-county area. This year, the RASM Scholarship Committee reviewed more than 85 applications and interviewed 12 candidates to determine six recipients. As a benefit to RASM members, three of the six scholarships were awarded to members or children of RASM members who are continuing education at an accredited college or university.
