Memorial Scholarship Funds

The purpose of these two funds is to assist Michigan Assessors Association (MAA) members whose employers provide no funding for education and who are financially burdened to self-fund educational opportunities.  The funding for these scholarships is made available by the Executive Board of the Michigan Assessors Association and private donations to provide greater opportunities for members to attend educational courses and seminars.  The funding is awarded to any MAA member who demonstrates a financial need, and intends to use the funds to complete an educational activity.

This accreditation program will provide participants with the foundational level knowledge required of an entry level clerical/technician position in an assessment administration office. Using STC publications, as well as industry standards and best practices for material and testing, the MAA ARS Accreditation will acknowledge the recipients’ basic skills and knowledge of data entry, policies and procedures in an assessment administration office. The ARS accreditation is a great next step for those beginning their career in Assessment Administration and intended for those with the MCAT Certification, but not required.

Requirements to receive the ARS:

  • Complete 16 hour MAA Assessment Records Specialist Class
  • Pass MAA Assessment Records Specialist Exam with score of 75% or higher

This is not an STC certification. MAA does not guarantee issuant is proficient using BS&A software or interpretation of the GPTA. MAA certifies the issuant has completed the 16 hour course and passed the related exam.

Course Description: This course focuses on “how to do your job accurately” as an entry-level office clerk/technician. At the end of this class, students will have a clear understanding of what an assessing office does, how it operates, and what part clerical employees generally play in the office’s overall function. Each section will provide material and/or situations that are representative of what an assessing clerk encounters daily and how they deal with that situation.
Using STC publications, as well as industry standards and best practices for material and testing, at the end of this 16 hour course, the student/participant should have the basic skills and knowledge of data entry, policies and procedures in an assessment administration office.

Recommended for: Entry level Assessors and Assessing Department Clerical Team Members
