Education Recognition Program
NSCA's Education Recognition Program (ERP) is the first step in laying the foundation to ensure excellence for students in the classroom, as well as long-term professional success after graduation. The ERP recognizes and distinguishes schools with strength and conditioning or personal training curricula that prepares students for NSCA certification exams. The ERP consists of three separate recognitions: 1) Personal Training, 2) Strength and Conditioning, and 3) Graduate Studies.
Grants & Scholarships
The NSCA Foundation (NSCAF) awards hundreds of thousands in research grant and scholarship dollars each year to outstanding individuals within the strength and conditioning community. The NSCAF is one of the few foundations that fund research for master's degree students and across all levels of education and experience up to senior investigators, as well as one of the few sources that funds work in the strength and conditioning field. Educational scholarships are available for high school and college students that fit certain criteria.
