Scholarships are presented every year at the Spring KU KCCM Conference.
KACM currently offers one Virgil Basgall Scholarship, two KACM Scholarships, and two or three Rising Star Scholarships. The Virgil Basgall and KACM scholarship recipients are nominated by KU, KSU, and WSU for MPA students. The Rising Star Scholarship is for employees at KACM member cities/counties whose manager recommends them as someone with potential to advance into a management role, but needs more education first.
