Grading Criteria:

• Cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale. This helps to show students are dedicated, and have a good work ethic.
• Extracurricular Activities. These show a student’s leadership ability and experience, the ability to plan and balance time, varied interests, and determine if a student is active in their community.
• Personal Statement. The personal statement should give a new glimpse into a student’s personality and their desire to come to be a NRA youth ambassador that cannot be garnered from the other parts of the application. Students should also share what it is that they hope to gain from this experience, and how it could impact them and/or others.
