Donate to the Scholarship Fund

---

One of NEPCAA’s core missions is to promote mentorship, leadership, and wellness in the community through scholarship opportunities.

Administrative Review

The Executive Board will determine scholarship amounts each year based on NEPCAA’s finances. For the 2026 season, three scholarships will be awarded to the top three applicants. Annual funding will be announced at the NEPCAA Annual Meeting.

Scholarship Committee

The NEPCAA Scholarship Committee consists of a Chairwoman and at least two additional members. The committee manages the full process of soliciting, reviewing, and scoring applications, as well as awarding scholarships.

• Each applicant may be nominated by a NEPCAA member (one nominee per member, per year).
• A committee member may nominate a student but may not score that student’s application.
• To avoid conflicts of interest, the Chairwoman will compile a ranked list of scores (without applicant names) and send it to the NEPCAA Executive Board for final review.
