2010 Eagle Scout Scholarship Applications Are Online

Applications for Eagle Scout scholarships for 2010 are now available at http://www.nesa.org/. We ask that your local council Web site please link back to the following URL so your Eagle Scouts who apply for a college scholarship use the correct application, which is a mandatory requirement. Incorrect applications from prior years will not be accepted. Here is that URL: http://www.nesa.org/applications.html

If your council Web site currently has NESA Eagle Scout scholarship applications already posted, those are the wrong and obsolete versions. Please delete them and link to the current ones now posted at the URL above.

This year, just over 4,500 applications were received for the 109 scholarships awarded. Of those applicants, 937 used the wrong form and thus were immediately rejected. Please consider the time and effort these applicants took to complete the application and to gather reference letters, and their anticipation as they mailed their application and awaited a response. Yet the rule is that they must use the correct application. None of these applicants ever had a chance. Let's work together to help prevent this from happening again in your council.

Please help your Eagle Scouts have a chance for a scholarship by linking your Web site to http://www.nesa.org/applications.html. This will give them direct access to the correct applications.
