The Twin Cities CCAI chapter is now accepting scholarship applications for the 2026-2027 academic year. The program awards scholarships to deserving students who meet the criteria set forth by the chapter. The chapter will be awarding two named scholarships:

• Jim Docken Scholarship
• Phil Ruggiero Scholarship

We will also be awarding general scholarships. The Twin Cities Golf Classic is the primary fundraiser for the scholarships. It will take place on June 18, 2026.

The application can be accessed by clicking the link below or by contacting the scholarship committee chair, Doug Van Duyne (ccascholarship23@gmail.com). This opportunity is open to seniors in high school, college students and people in the industry that are going back to school to advance their education. The scholarships are available to:

• CCAI Twin Cities Individual Members
• Children, grandchildren, or dependents of CCAI Twin Cities Chapter Individual members
• Only Current residents of the state of Minnesota or attending school in Minnesota are eligible
• Employees of companies that are current CCAI Corporate members or current members of the Twin Cities Benefactor Program and their dependents

Items needed to apply:

• Application

Applications are to be turned in by April 27, 2026.  No applications will be accepted after the deadline.  The scholarship committee will review the applications and notify the winners by May 15, 2026.  Recipients will be recognized at the annual golf outing which will be held Thursday, June 18, 2026 at Bunker Hills Golf Course in Coon Rapids, MN. Recipients are expected to help the association by volunteering at the golf outing. There is an option to golf (at the student’s expense) but that must be discussed with the scholarship committee in advance of the golf outing.
