NATOA will award a limited number of scholarships to help struggling jurisdictions pay for their GPA entries. The scholarships are designed for only those communities whose budgets were severely impacted by COVID-19. The goal is to ensure that channels who want to enter the competition can enter, despite major financial challenges brought on by the pandemic. First-time entrants are also encouraged to apply. The deadline to apply for a scholarship is Friday, April 16, 2021.
