A few notes:

• These scholarships are only open to NJHFR and NHSFR qualifiers.
• The Junior High Cinch Academic is truly an academically focused scholarship, so please encourage your qualifiers with high grades/high grade point averages to apply. 
• With the highest priority of health and safety in mind, there will be no interviews at either National Finals, so the applications and supporting documents are very important.  Please emphasize that point.
• The deadline will be enforced and ALL documents must be submitted by the deadline.
• There will be NO computers or printers available onsite for those that wait until the last minute to submit or to access transcripts. 
• Scholarship funds are paid to universities, colleges or technical/certification schools, NOT to recipients and are used for tuition or related educational expenses (lab fees, materials purchased through the university, for example). Funds are available for undergraduate and graduate work, hair school, auctioneering school, horse shoeing school, realtor school, certification classes, etc.  Anything educational is eligible and encouraged!
• Scholarship funds are NOT liquidated (cashed out) to recipients under any circumstances.
• Scholarships may only be used after graduation, NOT for college credit courses taken in high school.
