What are the Western Pennsylvania NSA Scholarship Weekends?
NSA of Western Pennsylvania wants to give ALL
girls that enjoy the game of softball a chance
to benefit from participating in our program. A scholarship for
college will be awarded to a player during each Scholarship Weekend
tournament. More information will be posted online in the “Flyer”
for each specific event prior to the tournament, to view click on
tournament name.
How is the Scholarship Recipient Decided?
The form of a blind draw will decide the recipient of each
scholarship.
ALL teams in the weekend tournament, and All players
PARTICIPATING in the tournament will be included in the draw. The
scholarship will NOT be awarded based on order of finish of a
team or an individual player’s athletic ability.
Details of when the drawing will be held shall be posted on or near
the bracket board so everyone will know when the drawings will be
held during the tournament.
What is the amount of scholarship?
The amount of the scholarship may be different from weekend to
weekend, depending on additional sponsorships.
It may be the minimum scholarship amount of $250 or as much
as $1000, depending on the matching funds or sponsorships the
Tournament Director/Host is available to secure. Watch the “flyer”
for the specific tournament for more details.
What happens after the Draw?
The tournament director will have the NSA Scholarship Recipient Form
filled out by the parents or guardian of the player. The director
will submit the correct information with the scholarship funds to
the NSA National Office. The NSA National Office then submits a
Confirmation Certificate, including the Sponsors Names, to the
winner of the scholarship and holds the funds in their Scholarship
Fund until the recipient is ready to attend college.
Who can participate in this tournament?
Any team currently registered with NSA may participate.
What if the player does NOT play ball in college?
It
does NOT matter if the player participates in college level
softball. The scholarship is still theirs to use.
Can
a player receive more than one scholarship?
Yes, if the recipient is lucky enough to be drawn more than one time
over the years.
Is there a stipulation on the type of college the scholarship
will be applied?
The scholarship funds will be paid directly to the recipient, in the
recipient’s name, after proof of enrollment is received by the NSA
National Office. Redeemable at such time the recipient enters an
accredited two-year or four year, junior college, college or
university or an accredited technical or trade school.
