Scholarships from any NCAAWA program or partner are NOT guaranteed. Scholarship awards are based on several factors, including eligibility, availability of funds, and merit of applications. Being involved in a particular program, school, or partner affiliation does not guarantee a scholarship award. Decisions from the Scholarship Committee are final.
1. Do I need to fill out the application and submit a resume?
Yes! An online application is required to receive a scholarship. Prior to submitting your application, check for correct spelling, complete sentences, and ask someone to review it with you.
2. Do I need a transcript to apply for the NCAAWA scholarship?
An official transcript is required and must be uploaded with your application. The transcript MUST be current. Official transcript must be requested from counselor or registrar with a signature, date, and stamp.
3. I am still in high school. When can I apply for a scholarship?
North County area high school students should apply for the scholarship during their senior year; the year they are graduating. Applications open annually on January 1.
4. Does NCAAWA provide scholarships for continuing education?
Yes. Submit your application each year you meet the qualifications.
5. How much money can be awarded to an applicant?
NCAAWA scholarships depend completely on our availability of funds, so we have no set amount.

A check is issued payable to the student in the amount of the scholarship and may be used for school-related expenses. To claim the scholarship, students must submit proof of full-time enrollment (12 units).
7. What if I cannot obtain the courses needed to meet the 12 units required?
The scholarship amount is based upon a full-time load (12 units). If lesser units are taken, the award will be divided according to the equivalent number of units, i.e., 9 units, you will receive 3/4 of the award; 6 units, you will receive 1/2 the award for the semester.
8. May I apply for the scholarship more than one time?
Only eligible students may apply more than once. Please review the eligibility requirements of each scholarship to see if you qualify.
