Committee Chair: Amy Ivy

The NACAA scholarship program is an excellent opportunity for all members of NYSACAA. Those who apply for scholarships receive support for their professional improvement. Others have the opportunity to invest in the future of their colleges and the capacity of Cooperative Extension agricultural programs across the nation by contributing to the scholarship fund.

Scholarship Committee Chair Responsibilties:

The NYSACAA State Scholarship Chair is charged with the responsibility of promoting the NACAA Scholarship Program. Responsibilities include:

• Encourage NACAA members to submit applications for individual and group scholarships.
• Provide information regarding the NACAA Scholarship Application process, required contribution for eligibility, scholarship application forms, deadlines and to assist applicants in making complete and accurate applications.
• Serve as a communication link between NYSACAA and the NACAA Scholarship Chair and the Northeast Regional Scholarship Vice Chair.
• Assist in the collection of scholarship funds from members, friends and supporters and forward funds to the NACAA Scholarship Chair. Obtain the name and address and amount of individual contributions so that information can be entered into the NACAA database and due recognition be given to the donors.
• Maintain records of contributions made to NACAA Scholarship Fund and obtain an annual report from the NACAA Scholarship Chair.
• Serve as a fund-raiser for the NACAA Scholarship Foundation.

Working with the NYSACAA State Treasurer: At times making NACAA Scholarship Foundation donations to the Treasurer may be convenient for NYSACAA members. The Treasurer should forward such funds (checks made payable to NACAA Foundation) and information on the donor directly to the NACAA Scholarship Chair in a timely fashion.

Applications are due by June 1. The application form for the NACAA scholarship program is in the Special Edition of the County Agent Magazine and also on the NACAA web site. You must have donated at least $40 to the fund by June 30, 2005 in order to qualify. If you have not yet contributed to the fund to do so by June 30, 2006 so you can qualify for the 2007 Scholarship program.

Scholarship funds may be used for individual or group activities, and for either formal degree work or credit courses, or for "nonformal" professional development activities such as tours and workshops.

The minimum contribution for scholarship eligibility, which must be made at least one year before you apply for a scholarship, is $40. The maximum award is $2000, $1000 within any one year.
