Support the Foundation
When you support the Foundation, you are a part of something really special: a community dedicated to developing knowledgeable and innovative leaders through research and scholarship. Since 1982, our donors’ belief in the NACA® Foundation as a valuable community asset has made it possible to award numerous scholarships, research grants, and professional development opportunities to members of the campus activities community. We take great pride in our mission and accomplishments, and with your continued support, we can persist in advancing the field of campus activities. The Foundation currently offers a variety of scholarships to assist undergraduate students, graduate students, professional staff and associate members in pursuing educational interests and career development.
Serving my campus through student government has been an honor and a privilege, and the opportunity to organize events that impact so many has been deeply gratifying. This award offers me the opportunity to continue serving the student body through my extracurricular commitments instead of work.
Through this scholarship, I will be able to fund my path to law school and reach my goal of graduating from law school. My aspirations in life are to become a successful attorney and provide attainable legal service to my community.
This scholarship helps me to pursue my chosen career path without worrying about the financial burden. It further enables me to fulfill my ambitions that have been the driving forces in my academic and personal life; namely, to pursue my love of the sciences and my desire to significantly impact the lives of others.
The purpose of the NACA Foundation is to support the National Association for Campus Activities in expanding opportunities within the community of higher education. The NACA Foundation will act as a conduit for philanthropic engagement with donors and outside partners to provide accessible opportunities for scholarship, research and education.
The NACA Foundation will serve as the bridge connecting the Association’s history and future direction and will be recognized as the preeminent organization in advancing research and support for the field of campus activities in higher education.
NACA Foundation cultivates resources for research and educational programs as they build affinity, engage and expand the number of individuals who support and are supported with professional development and educational opportunities.
