MCMA is strongly committed to the development and nurturing of future professional local government administrators who will work in cities and counties in our state.
In the interest of promoting the city management profession and to encourage educational pursuits leading to professional city management careers, MCMA established an annual scholarship program for two (2) deserving Missouri graduate students pursuing a Master’s of Public Administration degree.
The scholarship bears the name of the late Kathleen Mansfield, a dedicated city management professional whose ideals, motivation and good character inspired everyone who came into contact with her, especially her peers.
