The NCQA Hero Scholarship Program
The NCQA Hero Scholarship Program
The @National Collegiate Quirk Association (NCQA) doesn’t just reward strength — it invests in potential.
The Hero Scholarship Program stands as one of America’s most prestigious honors for aspiring heroes, providing full or partial funding to attend NCQA-certified universities.
The Hero Scholarship is a gateway to elite training, advanced education, and national recognition.
Purpose and Vision
The @National Collegiate Quirk Association (NCQA) Hero Scholarship exists to ensure that talent and heroism — not wealth — determine the future of the nation’s protectors.
It identifies and empowers promising young heroes across the @American Hero Academies Organization (AHAO). Each scholarship recipient represents the next generation of hope — heroes chosen not only for power, but for heart.
Scholarship Categories
The program is divided into two major scholarship pathways, each rewarding a different expression of hero excellence.

Scholarship Prestige and Recognition
Winning an @National Collegiate Quirk Association (NCQA) Hero Scholarship is more than a financial award — it is a mark of national respect.
Recipients are honored during the Annual Hero Education Summit, broadcast by the Hero Network, where their stories of service or competition inspire millions across the country.
They receive:
The @Medal of Rising Valor — a bronze star encased in transparent alloy, engraved with the NCQA seal.
A digital Hero ID granting early access to collegiate mentorship programs and Hero League connections.
Priority review by the @Heroes League of America for future Guild placement.
Combined Scholarship Recipients (Dual Path Heroes)
A rare few heroes earn both the Heroic Service and Quirk Brawl scholarships — known as Dual Path Recipients.
These individuals have proven excellence both in the field and the arena, embodying the NCQA ideal of the “Complete Hero.”
They are often fast-tracked toward @Hero Bachelor License or @Master Hero License, as their balance of empathy and power represents the ultimate standard of the American hero system
Legacy and Impact
Since its founding in 2026, the NCQA Hero Scholarship Program has produced more than 60% of America’s top-ranked heroes and nearly all current Guild captains.
It remains the cornerstone of the nation’s hero education model — a promise that no act of courage, no moment of excellence, and no young hero with potential will ever go unnoticed.
Because in the @United States Of America, education is not just a right — it’s a duty to prepare for greatness.
