We currently offer Community membership, and the annual Val Mason Scholarship is available to a student currently enrolled in a school, college, or university who is intending to pursue a career in club management.
CMAC can also assist students in forming a Student Branch of CMAC at your school. The association currently has one official branch but several students from different institutions across the country. If you are interested in forming a Student Branch, please review our Ontario guidelines and application form or contact the National Office if you are outside of Ontario.
