One means by which the NACA Foundation demonstrates its commitment to the development of professionals in the field of campus activities is through providing scholarships to undergraduate students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities and made significant contributions to their campus communities. The fund provides annual scholarships, each with different criteria. Scholarships are to be used for educational expenses, including tuition, books, fees or other related expenses. Scholarships are announced in February.
Applicants for the Scholarships for Student Leaders Program must: be matriculated undergraduate students in good standing at the time of the application and during the semester in which the award is received; have at least a 2.0 GPA; hold significant leadership positions on their campuses; have made significant contributions to their campus communities; and have demonstrated leadership skills and ability. High school students are not eligible. NACA membership or involvement is not a criterion for selection.
