The NGA Family Guardian Scholarship
Because family guardians bring an important perspective to the guardianship profession as effective advocates for quality services, the NGA Family Guardian Scholarship has been created to reward a family guardian who is a member of NGA, or who holds membership in one of NGA’s affiliate state organizations. A family guardian is defined as an individual who acts as a guardian for one or more vulnerable adults related to the guardian by blood, adoption, or through marriage or friendship.
