Program Structure

The Education and Scholarship Program Committee oversees the scholarship selection and awarding process, including the announcement of annual themes, contest rules, and requirements. Each year, scholarship winners are celebrated at the General Membership Meeting (GMM).


The committee, chaired by the Vice President, works closely with regional representatives to establish program guidelines, select essay themes, and determine award amounts. Scholarship funding comes from member dues and contributions, ensuring support for education remains a priority across NCOAGA’s chapters.
