Scholarships
General Information
Scholarships will be made available to cheerleaders & dancers whose school/gym is an active member of the Association. The amount of each scholarship will be determined each year by the Annual competition receipts and will be based on the association’s account balance. Cheerleaders & Dancers are eligible if they are members of an NKCCA school/gym, are seniors in good standing and have submitted a scholarship form. Also, their squad must be a participant in that school year’s competition (2 1/2 Minute &/or GameDay section). Proceeds received from the competition fund the scholarship awards. All forms must be completed and returned to the Association’s President with a postmark of no later then what is posted on the scholarship form of the current school year. Any application postmarked after that date will not be accepted. Any application missing information will also not be accepted. An independent committee of the Association will select the scholarship winners. Selections will be announced at the Annual Competition. Scholarships must be redeemed by the following academic year. Scholarships not redeemed in this time period will be fortified and re-entered into the Association’s account balance. All scholarships redemptions are handled by the treasurer and are drawn on the Association’s account. It is the responsibility of each scholarship winner to notify the NKCCA President of the school they are attending. A check will be made payable directly to the college or university upon receipt of a copy of the student’s university/college bill.
