In 1985, GFOA's Executive Board voted to create the Goldberg-Miller Public Finance Scholarship to recognize outstanding performances by graduate program students preparing for a career in state and local government finance. There is no specified course of study, but it should have a relationship to state or local government finance. Two letters of recommendation from someone who can speak to the applicant's commitment to the public sector must be submitted. There is no employment requirement. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Government Finance Officers Association for more information.
