NCPA offers $500 scholarship for college offering a future with more than paintballing tips

In conjunction with Platinum and Gold Sponsors Brass Eagle, National Paintball Supply, PMI and AKA, the National Collegiate Paintball Association is pleased to announce the first college scholarship for paintball players.

The primary consideration for selecting the scholarship recipient will be achievement promoting a positive public image for paintball. Examples would include, but are certainly not limited to, promoting charity paintball events, conducting paintball safety or awareness campaigns, and organizing service projects performed by and attributed to members of the paintball community.

Additional consideration will be given to a candidate’s academic achievements and character, integrity and leadership as demonstrated through participation in extra curricular, civic or community activities.

The scholarship program is the NCPA’s latest effort at highlighting the positive impact paintball participation has in communities across the country. “Our clubs and teams regularly bring positive press to paintball in their communities through their activities on and off the field,” said NCPA President Chris Raehl. “The scholarship program recognizes individual players whose actions develop a positive image for paintball at the local level.”
