Recipients of the Kendall scholarships receive support with the costs associated with attending the required curriculum including CMAA’s Business Management Institutes (BMI), the Certification Review Course, and other CCM associated fees.

The Club Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established by the CMAA in 1988. The Foundation seeks to fund the life cycle of a club manager’s career, providing financial support for five key areas: students, faculty, club managers, CMAA chapters, and the club industry at large. It supports the advancement of club management professionals, funding industry education programs through scholarships and grants.
