Scholarship Opportunity Print E-mail

Each year TCRA sponsors a scholarship for court reporting students.  Students may participate in the program by writing a short essay.  The student scholarships are awarded to deserving students each year at our Annual Convention in June.

In honor and memory of Tiffany Robinson Brosemer, we have renamed the Student Scholarship Fund to the "Tiffany Brosemer Student Scholarship Fund."  Tiffany lost a courageous battle with cancer on December 14, 2009.  She was a long-time member of TCRA, having served on several committees and as a Middle Division Director during the years 2005-2006. We feel it is especially fitting to rename the Student Scholarship Fund, as Tiffany was the first recipient of the Student Scholarship Award in 2003.

The deadline for the submittal of essays is April 30, 2010.  If you have any questions regarding this program, please address questions to our Administrative Director, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
