The NSPA-SPE-IN list categorizes interests associated with scholarship programs in the context of eligibility and applications. New entries for NSPA Exchange Data Standard v1.0e are reflected in this list.

Overview

The purpose of the NSPA-SPE-IN list is to record interests that have scholarships associated with them.

Usage

In the NSPA Exchange, an interest is a subject regarding which one has an enjoyment, enthusiast, or spectator role. It may not be something an individual actively pursues or is directly involved in.

Contrast with the Activity List. For example, watching golf tournaments on cable TV would be an interest, while playing golf would be an activity. As another example we occasionally see eligibility criteria formulated like “Applicants must show an interest in forensics,” with program details making clear that neither formal study nor a current career in forensic science is a requirement.

Due to the wide array of possible interests, this list is updated as specific programs are found.
