BILLIE ANN CAYA (BAC) SCHOLARSHIP

The Billie Ann Caya (BAC) scholarship will be awarded every year at the State Fall Cheerleading Competition. One Class A and one Class B school will be drawn from the list of NDCCA member coaches. It will then be at that coach’s discretion as to how and who they select for the scholarship. Often cheerleaders make contributions to their team that are not dependent on their grade point or class rank—and this could be a way for them to be recognized. It will be a $250 scholarship.
