NJCDCA SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

The NJCDCA is proud to support the academic and athletic dreams of New Jersey's cheer and dance athletes through our annual scholarship program. As we approach the 2025–2026 season, we celebrate 30 years of awarding scholarships—an incredible milestone made possible through the success of our NJCDCA State Championship. To date, we’ve awarded over $500,000+ in scholarships to outstanding student-athletes across the state. These scholarships recognize not only talent and dedication in the sport but also excellence in the classroom and leadership in the community. We are honored to continue investing in the future of our athletes.
