The National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA) and the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) are the official governing and sanctioning bodies for their sports. The NSSA was founded in 1928 and is a nonprofit organization owned and operated by its members. It is the world’s largest skeet shooting organization and annually hosts the World Skeet Championships. NSCA was founded in 1989 as a division of NSSA, and it is now the world’s largest sporting clays organization. It annually hosts members from all 50 states and many foreign countries at the National Sporting Clays Championship.

Active NSSA and NSCA members who will graduate from high school this academic year are invited to apply for one of the eight $5,000 scholarships that will be awarded to deserving students this year. Four scholarships will be presented to NSSA members and four to NSCA members. The scholarship program is open not only to students pursuing a four-year degree but also to students attending two-year colleges and technical colleges. Recipients must begin their advanced studies in 2024.

Selection is based on a combination of participation in NSSA-NSCA, academic achievement, citizenship and need. The application process involves writing a short essay, completing an application form, providing grades and a letter of recommendation, and detailing your NSSA-NSCA participation and accomplishments. The deadline to apply is March 1, 2024.

National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA) will award $5,000 scholarships to four deserving high school seniors in 2024. This NSSA scholarship may be used for a 4-year or 2-year degree program or a technical college. It will be paid incrementally by semester.

It is the responsibility of the recipient to send a copy of each semester’s grades bearing the seal of the office of the registrar to NSSA Headquarters; grades from the internet will not be accepted.

Scholarship payment will be made at the end of each semester after grades have been submitted.

Summer sessions are excluded from this program. Full-time status (12 hrs. minimum per semester) and a “B” average (3.0 GPA or greater) must be maintained to continue this scholarship. A reasonable lapse in attendance for a college-approved internship program may be permitted. Continued active NSSA-registered skeet participation is required.

This application will be for 2024 high school graduates, beginning with the 2024 fall semester. We expect applicants to be active NSSA participants; however, selection will be based on a combination of scholarship, citizenship, and participation in NSSA activities.
