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 provides over $50,000 in scholarship funds to NYCHA members yearly. 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 nchacutting.com/foundationscholarships.

Competition-Based Scholarships

The NCHA Foundation provides over $80,000 by funding major NYCHA  scholarship cuttings:

  • NCHA Eastern National Championships – Jackson, Mississippi
  • NCHA Western National Champions – Denver, Colorado
  • NCHA Foundation Scholarship Cutting – Fort Worth, Texas
  • NCHA Youth World Finals – Fort Worth, Texas
  • NYCHA Youth Week Contests: the Public Speaking, Essay, Photo, and Artwork contest 

In addition to the scholarship opportunities, the NCHA Foundation also offers a Grant Program that financially supports youth education and leadership activities and events at both the local and national levels. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at scholarships@nchafoundation.org.

     

    Additional Scholarship Opportunites

    The NYCHA is fortunate to partner with numerous organizations both in and out of the cutting industry. These partnerships not only provide our youth members the opportunity to gain skills in leadership but also the ability to apply for scholarships.
