NCPA 2014 Scholarship Application March 18th, 2014

If you are a high school senior interested in pursuing an interest in writing and publishing, we invite you to apply for a $350 scholarship toward your college education.

An interested senior’s application will consist of concise, well-written answers to six questions, along with submission of contact information.

The winning senior will be notified by mid-April and will be invited to attend the NCPA Award Dinner, Sunday, April 27 in Sacramento.
