NOTE TO STUDENT AND PARENT/GUARDIAN: The Nebraska Academic Decathlon Program is
required to use this form by the National Office of the United States Academic Decathlon.
The information you provide on this form will not be given or sold to other organizations
except as described below. Your test scores, identified specifically by your name,
are only provided to the coach of your school's decathlon team. We do announce either
perfect or near perfect test scores on a given event at the Awards Ceremony. Since
we invite the media to the competition, your picture may be taken and used in the
news coverage of the competition. All regular team members of the 1st,
2nd, and 3rd place teams at each Regional and the State Final
will earn a scholarship. The amount of the scholarship is dependent on our fund
raising efforts and each recipient is notified of the amount(by letter) during the
early part of July. A student has two years following his/her graduation from high
school to claim the scholarship. A scholarship check is sent directly to the college/university
selected by the student and will be written to BOTH the student and the college/university.
Thus, the student will know when the scholarship check arrives because he/she will
be called to endorse the check.
