NTHS Scholarships for SkillsUSA Members
NTHS will award four $1,000 scholarships to SkillsUSA members at the 2009 SkillsUSA National Leadership Conference. Two scholarships will be awarded to high school members, and two scholarships will be awarded to college/postsecondary members.

To be eligible, students must be active, dues-paying members of both SkillsUSA and NTHS. To apply, schools must have an active NTHS chapter, which includes submission of a charter application and approval from the school administration.

In the event that a qualified college/postsecondary member is not recommended by the scholarship committee, two high school scholarships will be awarded instead.
