NCRF raises funds to support both the court reporting professional, and the student reporter.
The Foundation is thrilled to be in a position to offer scholarships and a grant again this year to deserving NCRA members. In order to qualify for either the Frank Sarli Memorial Scholarship, or the Student Intern Scholarship, students must be enrolled in an NCRA certified court reporting program, be a member of NCRA, have a 3.5 GPA and meet other criteria. Note: Nominations must be submitted by a school administrator or teacher. Only one nomination per program is permitted.
Frank Sarli Memorial Scholarship
Frank Sarli dedicated his professional life to court reporting, and especially to students, serving many years on NCRA's committees and boards that guide the education of court reporting students. NCRF gives out a $2000 scholarship each year in Mr. Sarli's memory.
New Professional Reporter Grant
$2,000 grant awarded to a new employee in his/her first year out of school to help reduce out-of-pocket start-up expenses. Nomination Form and Letter of Recommendation must be submitted by the employee's supervisor.
Student Intern Scholarship
Awarded to a student who has completed or is currently performing the required internship portion of their court reporting program. This is a $1000 award, and two individuals will be selected to receive $1000 each. Nomination form will be available later in the Spring.
Santo J. Aurelio Award for Altruism
In 1996, Mrs. Josephine C. Aurelio gave NCRF a generous donation to honor her husband's lifetime of altruistic endeavors. NCRF established the Santo J. Aurelio Award for Altruism, and each year, beginning in 1999 at NCRA's Centennial Convention, one altruistic person devoted to the court reporting profession receives this honor.
