NASP® celebrates its 20th year of “Changing Lives One Arrow at a Time” with the return to in-person competition. When combined, the 2022 Western and Eastern national tournamentshosted 13,741 student archers safely participating in these exciting in-person events.
Both national in-person competitions were open to all U.S. qualifying NASP® archers. Earlier this year, NASP® announced an exciting addition to this year’s event: all archers competing, were eligible to be randomly selected for up to (120) $500 college scholarships. Upon graduation, archers could then apply these funds to the cost of any post-secondary educational institution or training program of their choice.
NASP® established a computerized random selection process using the combined results from Western and Eastern Nationals. Eligibility only required for each archer to register, attend either national event, and submit a Bullseye score higher than 0. The computer then selected 50 males and 50 females from the combined results.
The selected archers can be found here: https://www.naspschools.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022RandomWinners.pdf
Coaches of these selected archers have been notified to begin the award process.
NASP® President, Tommy Floyd, said, “Since inception, our goal was to help grow the sport of archery, support the mission of educators, and help young people discover the many positive benefits of participating in the shooting sports. We have always been a program that aims to reach everyone. The idea of bestowing a $500 scholarship to this many student-archers speaks loudly of our intent to make a positive impact on students that might not even be thinking about their plans to see post-secondary educational opportunities. Based on the feedback thus far, that is exactly what these scholarships are doing! We are grateful to our many sponsors who know that producing this kind of opportunity will and does cause young people to begin thinking about their life preparation beyond high school. We are absolutely committed to not only reaching more student archers with NASP®, but also the philosophy of recognizing the value in these students investing in their own life preparation through post-secondary education and training! NASP® is committed to changing lives!”
NASP® is conducting the 2022 Open Championship in Louisville, KY June 23-25, where an additional $500 scholarship will be randomly given away during each flight.
