USAA EDUCATIONAL Cash grants
400 Educational Cash Grants

The non-profit USAA Scholarship Foundation awards 400 national educational cash grants of up to $1,500 each year. All scholarship winners are determined by an independent selection committee. The committee is comprised of educators and former educators representing all levels of education.

Scholarship Selection Criteria

• Grade point average – indicate if you are taking AP classes
• Scores on SAT general tests, SAT subject tests, AP tests (if applicable)
• Honors/Awards – specify the level of your award (example: school, district, regional or national level award)
• School activities/Leadership positions/ Sports involvement
• Special interests, hobbies, community service

Students are encouraged to document their achievements by providing copies of report cards/transcripts, certificates of achievement, recommendation letters from teachers and/or counselors, etc. Volunteer work can be documented also.

The United States Achievement Academy Scholarship Foundation offers two programs in which students can apply for scholarships. The first is a National Program that is divided into 17 categories like Language Arts, Math, Science, Fine Arts, World Language, etc. The award code given to each nominated student indicates the category/subject for which he or she is nominated. All applications received for the National Program are divided into middle school or junior high school and high school groups and subsequently sorted by categories. When  applying within this program, pay special attention to the category/subject, and be  sure to show interests beyond the classroom activities.

The second program in which students can apply for scholarship is the All-American Scholar Program. This program offers scholarship opportunities for overall academically strong and well rounded students. Again, middle school and junior high school applications are  evaluated separately from the high school applications.

Students nominated in both programs are encouraged to return both scholarship applications since it increase the chances to become a scholarship winner. Most students nominated only in the National Program are also eligible to apply for the All-American Scholar Program.

Important note.  All United States Achievement Academy members (nominated students) are excellent students. Applying students should keep in mind that a well organized application makes it easier for the Selection Committee to study your application. Also, USAA members must be nominated the school year they wish to apply for scholarships. All students nominated into the Academy should be proud of their academic success and National recognition.

The Dr. George A. Stevens Founder's Award
$10,000 Educational Cash Grant

In addition to the USAA educational cash grants, the USAA Scholarship Foundation has established a $10,000 scholarship cash grant to honor its founder, Dr. George A. Stevens, and his commitment to student recognition. The United States Achievement Academy Scholarship Foundation seeks to enhance the intellectual and personal growth of students who demonstrate a genuine interest in learning.

To be eligible for consideration, the nominated student MUST return a completed scholarship application to the United States Achievement Academy. All applicants in grades 6-12 are given careful consideration. Scholarships are distributed to students in the form of cash grants and are designated for educational expenses.
