The SSA is pleased to announce a new scholarship program for CFI-Gs. This program was kick-started by an initial generous donation from John Weber and others. The goal is to generate more CFI-Gs at clubs, which will then help foster club growth. 

The committee is now accepting Intents to Bid for 2020 National Contests! Please email the Class(es) your site would like to host and preferred dates (general timeframes acceptable) to the Contest Site Selection Committee at ContestSiteSelection@gmail.com by December 15, 2018.
