Who Can Apply:
- At the core of every athlete lies determination, courage, and the unwavering belief that limits are meant to be surpassed. Many student-athletes with physical or mental disabilities exemplify this spirit, showing remarkable dedication both on and off the field despite the obstacles they encounter. Whether they are competing, training, or championing greater accessibility in sports, these students stand as powerful examples of resilience and excellence.
- Athletic achievement and academic success are deeply connected, and every student, regardless of ability, deserves the chance to pursue their goals in both. By reducing the financial barriers to higher education, we can foster opportunity, honor talent, and empower the next generation of athletes and leaders.
- This scholarship is dedicated to supporting student-athletes with disabilities who exemplify resilience, leadership, and passion in their athletic pursuits while striving toward academic success.
- This scholarship welcomes applications from high school seniors with disabilities or special needs who are actively involved in sports, live in an East Coast state, and plan to continue their education through college, trade school, life skills programs, or another post-secondary path. The ideal recipient is not defined by limitations, but by their drive, character, and perseverance. We are looking for students who demonstrate resilience, show leadership, embrace a positive outlook, and remain dedicated to both their education and athletics.
