Multicultural Scholarship Program
ONLY current undergraduate students, graduate students and school staff members are eligible to apply.
High school students are not eligible

The Multicultural Scholarship Program is part of the NACA Foundation’s affirmative action effort to increase the participation of ethnic minority individuals in the field of campus activities. The program is designed to provide economic assistance to qualified under-represented programmers, allowing them to attend NACA-sponsored training workshops, regional conferences and National Conventions. Up to four scholarships will be awarded annually. The awards are for registration only; travel is not included. One of the four scholarships is endowed by the former NACA New England Region and designated for a student or staff member at a college or university within that region (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI and VT).

DEADLINE
Materials must be received in the NACA Office by May 1.

CRITERIA
Applicants are to be identified as members of the African-American, Latina/Latino, Native American, Asian-American, or Pacific Islander ethnic minorities. NACA membership is not a prerequisite for applicant consideration. High school students are not eligible

FOLLOW-UP
Within 30 days of completing the program, recipients must submit a 350-600 word statement describing the program and how participation met their professional development objectives.
