Diaper Drive Under Way!

North Central Texas Counseling Association Scholarship

Do you have a son or daughter who will be attending college next school year?  If so, now is the time to start thinking about the NCTCA Scholarship.  This scholarship is awarded each Spring to the daughter or son of a member of the North Central TCA chapter.  A great benefit of being a North Central TCA member! The scholarship has traditionally been awarded to high school senior who will be attending college the next school year.  However, if you have a son or daughter who is already attending college, and has not yet received the NCTCA scholarship, he or she can also apply.  It’s not a large scholarship, but every amount of scholarship money helps!

For the student/child to be eligible to apply for this scholarship, the parent must be a member of NCTCA by November 1st, of the chapter year in which the student applies. 

Scholarship applications are available now.  You will find one at this website (click on link text above), or you may contact Catherine Lauterbach or Joy Chandler, Co-Chairs of the Scholarship Committee.
