Regardless of whether your child is or is not submitting an essay for the All-Academic scholarship, we encourage everyone above the age of 18 to apply to be a volunteer reader.
Though, we do ask that those who apply have a USA Fencing membership ID. The reason being, we want to make sure it is someone verifiably involved in the fencing community as well as to weed out any potential bad actors.
Parents who do not have or have never had a membership are encouraged to look into our Parent Membership (USA Fencing | Membership) which also includes parent-exclusive benefits!
