NPN Scholarship Application

The application for CADCA's 36th Annual National Leadership Forum NPN Scholarship is now open!

The scholarships will cover lodging for four nights at the Gaylord National Hotel in National Harbor, MD, applicable registration fees, travel (economy class airfare or mileage depending on your location, up to $500), per diem, and reimbursement of ground transportation expenses, up to $150 (to/from local DC airports). All original receipts must be mailed to CADCA for reimbursement of ground transportation expenses.

All applications must be submitted online and are due no later than Friday, October 31, 2025 at 12:00 PM EST and must be fully completed in order to be considered. There are a limited number of NPN scholarships available, so acceptance will be done on first-come, first-received basis.

For questions, contact Amy Pica at CADCA - (703) 706-0560 ext. 228 or email apica@cadca.org.

Important Notes:

  • Once individuals are selected, the scholarship cannot be transferred to another individual within your organization. The next NPN on the waitlist will receive the scholarship if the original recipient is unable to attend.
  • The scholarship cannot be divided up among other members of the organization and applied to registrations rather than housing (for example).
  • A scholarship from another year cannot be applied as a scholarship for this year.
  • Travel details will be provided to those selected and must be booked per the instructions and by the deadlines therein to secure the lowest rates available.
