NSA Foundation Scholarship Fund

NSA Foundation Scholarship Fund is the charitable arm of the National Speakers Association. The foundation awards four $5,000 scholarships each year to college juniors, seniors or graduate students who are pursuing a degree with either a major or minor in speech. Students must be pursuing a career as a professional speaker.

The four scholarships are the Earl Nightingale Scholarship, named after Earl Nightingale, an American motivational speaker and radio legend; the Nido Qubein Scholarship named after the NSA Foundation founder; the Cavett Robert Scholarship; and the Bill Gove Scholarship.

Students must demonstrate academic excellence, financial need and study speech or related fields such as communications. They must also be enrolled full-time at an accredited college or university.

The National Speakers Association (NSA) Foundation established the scholarship program in 1989 to encourage more students to pursue a career as a professional speaker. Over $350,000 in scholarships have benefited communication students.

The deadline for this scholarship is usually in JUNE of each year, and the award amount is usually $5,000.
