National Junior Classical League Scholarship

The NJCL annually grants several scholarships between the amounts of $1500 and $4000 to NJCL members. While most of the scholarships are announced at the NJCL Convention, students need not be present to win.

Both the application and the recommendation must be submitted by February 7.

The NJCL Scholarships can be paid directly to the recipient for use on any education-related expenses or can be paid to the school.

Scholarships are awarded on the following criteria:
-financial need
-JCL service at local, state, and national levels
academic record
-recommendations from teachers, principals, counselors, and other adults

Special consideration will also be given to those applicants who intend to teach Latin, Greek, or the Classical Humanities. Applications will be screened by a selection committee over the summer, and recipients will be informed of the results by the time of the NJCL Convention.
