NJCAA Convention Scholarship Program

The NJCAA Foundation is proud to announce that it will begin sponsoring a scholarship program for the annual NJCAA Convention. Beginning with the 2025 NJCAA Convention presented by Nufabrx, slated to be held in Denton, Texas on April 13-17, the NJCAA Foundation will award four $750 scholarships across different areas of interest. Scholarships may be used for travel, lodging, entry and registration fees. Scholarship recipients will be required to provide documentation of travel and lodging expenses.

The Aspiring Leaders Scholarship - The Aspiring Leaders Program is targeted to NJCAA members seeking general knowledge of the NJCAA in addition to getting more involved in the governance structure. In order to complete the Aspiring Leaders certification, participants will be required to attend designated sessions of Convention with targeted Professional Development sessions throughout the week as well. To be eligible for this scholarship, the recipient must be on staff at a NJCAA member institution, and must enroll and commit to completing the Aspiring Leaders Program during Convention week.

First Time Attendee Scholarship - The First Time Attendee Scholarship is designed for those attending their very first NJCAA Convention. To be eligible for this scholarship, the recipient must be on staff at a NJCAA member institution, and must be a verified first-time attendee of the NJCAA Convention.

Lonestar Scholarship - The Lonestar Scholarship will be awarded to a recipient who is on staff at an NJCAA institution in the state of Texas.

Non-Member Scholarship - The Non-Member Scholarship is designed to help non-NJCAA members attend the Convention and provide exposure to the NJCAA for networking. The recipient must attend at least 15 sessions throughout the week. Ideal candidates for this scholarship include high school coaches, high school athletic directors, and college personnel from non-NJCAA institutions.
