Students should now apply for 2001 Eagle Scout college scholarships.
More than $210,000 in college scholarships will be awarded in 2001 to 25 Eagle Scouts by the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA). Awards range from $48,000 (up to $12,000 per year) to one-time grants of $3,000.
Applicants must be currently registered in the BSA and graduate from high school and enter college in the year they apply for a scholarship; i.e., 2001 high school graduates apply by the 2001 deadline of Feb. 28.
Applicants must:
- have received the Eagle Scout Award prior to submitting an application or verified that an application for Eagle Scout rank has been received at the national office,
- have an SAT score of at least 1090 and/or an ACT score of 26, and
- have demonstrated leadership in Scouting and strong participation in activities outside Scouting.
Applicants must also state why they believe they need financial aid and have the endorsement of a volunteer or professional Scout leader who knows them personally.
