Become a Junior Director
Every year, the UACA selects high school students to represent the association as Junior Directors for twelve months starting in January of each year.
Junior Directors (JDs) are expected to participate in all community events sponsored by the UACA between January of their junior year through December of their senior year. For students who are currently juniors, or the class of 2026, the JD application process will open on Monday November 18th and close at midnight on Wednesday January 8th, 2025. High school juniors will be able to apply on this page when registration opens.
Students chosen as a Junior Director in good standing may be awarded a $1,000 scholarship. Any scholarship awarded will be paid directly to the college, university, or institution on behalf of the student.
Applications are considered based upon service to their school and community, leadership, and communication skills. Students must complete an application and obtain two letters of recommendation from school (teachers, guidance counselors, coaches or administrators), places of worship, community leaders, or employers. Letters can be submitted at the time of application or emailed directly to jrdirector@uaca.org prior January 8th, 2025.
