Michigan NSA Scholarship Weekends
Thank you to
all involved for helping fund and Award these scholarships.
What are the Michigan NSA Scholarship Weekends?
NSA 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.
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. The amount of
the scholarship will be posted on the bracket board.
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.
