USCHA Scholarships and Fellowships
NMAC currently offers two scholarship categories and one fellowship category to support attendance to USCHA. In addition to our general scholarships, we have several programmatic scholarships for youth. Below is a description of each scholarship and fellowship category.
Due to funding limitations, we cannot offer scholarships to all those who apply. However, we are committed to helping applicants develop a robust application. Follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook for the announcement about the upcoming webinar dedicated to submitting a quality scholarship application. Representatives from each scholarship program will discuss the goals and activities and explain what reviewers want to see when recommending scholarship awards.

Scholarship recipients who qualify for Option B will receive the $100 travel subsidy onsite.
NMAC will make a hotel reservation for each awardee of an Option B scholarship for two nights, arriving on September 4 and departing on September 6, 2024.
Any additional nights to the reservation must be requested and paid for by the awardee.
Upon check-in at the hotel, the awardee will need to provide a credit card for additional expenses. Special arrangements will be made for those awardees unable to provide a credit card guarantee. This will be communicated to awardees directly.
