NCHA Foundation Scholarships
As one of the NCHA Foundation tenets, the youth scholarship tenet ensures that NCHA youth members have the funds available to achieve their higher education goals by providing the youth the opportunity to earn scholarships in and out of the cutting arena.
Merit-Based Scholarship Program
The NCHA Foundation currently provides over $50,000 in merit-based scholarship funds to NYCHA members in good standing annually. Applications go live on April 1st and must be fully submitted by June 30th. All merit-based scholarship applications must be submitted via the online portal. To learn more about the merit-based scholarship program, visit the NCHA Foundation Scholarships Page.
Competition-Based Scholarships
The NCHA Foundation provides over $80,000 by funding major NYCHA scholarship cuttings:
- NCHA Eastern National Championships – Jackson, Mississippi
