Changes have been made to the Next Generation Scholarship process. Here's what you need to know:

Do I need to nominate students or be nominated to apply for the scholarship?
NO. This year, any student attending a University Member school can apply directly for the Next Generation Scholarship. University Member representatives or NRFSA advisors no longer need to nominate their students or submit applications on their students' behalf.

Is there a limit to the number of students from my school who can apply?
NO. This year, there is no limit to the number of students from each University Member school who can apply.

What makes a student eligible to apply for this scholarship?

How will you determine travel stipends for the 2018 Student Program at Retail's BIG Show?
The top two highest-ranking applicants from each University Member school will receive a travel stipend up to $1,500. From this group, the top 25 applicants with the highest scores will be selected as semi-finalists.

How will you determine the 25 semi-finalists?
