Ross Trust Graduate Student Scholarship Competition

The American Counseling Association, in collaboration with the ACA Foundation, sponsors the annual Ross Trust Graduate Student Scholarship competition every year, beginning in the Fall. Through the generosity of Roland and Dorothy Ross, the Ross Trust was set up to provide scholarships to students preparing for counseling roles in the nation's elementary, middle and secondary schools. Roland Ross was an active member of ACA for many years.

Through the Ross Trust, ACA awards 15 scholarships each year -- ten to master's level students and five to doctoral level students.

Counselor educators at institutions offering masters and doctoral programs may nominate students who represent, in their estimation, the highest standards of academic achievement, volunteerism in the community and, for doctoral students, evidence of scholarly research, writing and presentations.
