Do you need assistance paying for costs associated with preparing for
the CAE exam? Consider applying for a CAE scholarship from the
Association Forum Foundation or Million Dollar Round Table.

Designed to help aspiring CAEs at Chicago associations cover the
costs of studying for the CAE exam, this scholarship gives recipients an

Study Course registration, as well as assistance with standard CAE study
materials. Candidates who are from populations underrepresented in the
association management industry are encouraged to apply. Scholarship
Award: up to $1,000.
Million Dollar Round Table John J. Prast CAE Scholarship

Round Table's retired chief executive officer, John J. Prast, CAE. Prast
was an association professional for 37 years who was committed to
excellence and strongly supported the value of the CAE. The goal of this
scholarship is to honor Prast’s contributions to the industry,

designation and the Association Forum’s commitment to the designation,
and help an aspiring CAE candidate achieve this professional goal. This
award covers the cost of the CAE application fee, CAE Study Course
registration, and assistance with standard CAE study materials. Current
