🦅🎓 EAGLE SCOUTS — SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY!

Earning the rank of Eagle Scout is an incredible accomplishment — and it may also open the door to scholarships for your next educational adventure!

The National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) offers scholarships to eligible Eagle Scouts pursuing college, associate degrees, or skilled trade programs.

💰 Scholarships range from $5,000 to $50,000, including several multi-year awards.
📅 IMPORTANT DATES FOR 2027
🦅 Eagle Board of Review: On or before January 24, 2027
📝 Application Portal Opens: December 1, 2026
⏰ Application Deadline: January 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM CST
🏆 Scholarship Awards Announced: June 10, 2027

Who can apply?

Applicants must be NESA members and may apply beginning in their senior year of high school through their junior year of an undergraduate program — or through the halfway point of an associate degree or skilled trade program.

Scholarships are available for eligible Eagle Scouts enrolled in or accepted by an accredited educational institution as a full-time student.

📣 Scout leaders, parents and Eagle Scouts — please share this information! A Scout who worked hard to earn Eagle may have another opportunity waiting because of that achievement.

🦅 Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle.
