The National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) is proud to announce the selection of its 2024 scholarship recipients. This year, NESA has awarded over $515,000 in scholarships to 69 incredible Eagle Scouts across the country, demonstrating our commitment to supporting the next generation of leaders.

Among the recipients, five exceptional individuals were chosen for the prestigious Lawrence S. and Mabel Cooke Scholarship, recognizing their extraordinary achievements and potential. You can view the full list of this year’s scholarship recipients at: nesa.org/scholarships/nesa-scholarship-recipients. 

David Ehrlich, NESA vice president of finance and scholarships, emphasized the importance of this program: “Providing scholarships to our members is one of the most tangible ways the National Eagle Scout Association helps further the mission and values of Scouting. I am confident these young men and women will call on the skills they’ve developed on their journey to Eagle. While they have just begun their life journey, the leadership and character learned in Scouting has prepared them for this educational adventure and for life.”

These scholarships not only recognize the recipients’ past accomplishments but also invest in their future potential as they continue their educational and leadership journeys.

Looking ahead, NESA encourages eligible Eagle Scouts to apply for next year’s scholarships. The application window for 2025 NESA Scholarships will open on December 1, 2024, and close on January 31, 2025.
