Female Athleticism Scholarship
Female athletes and women’s sports leagues often don’t get the recognition they deserve or the support they need to thrive.
Women’s sports often receive less viewership, sponsorship, and attention than their male counterparts, leading to fewer professional opportunities, lower salaries, and less encouragement to be great. Sports are a vital part of the development of young people, with athletic pursuits teaching many skills that will help them be successful in their future endeavors and careers.
This scholarship seeks to recognize the hard work and dedication of female athletes by supporting them as they prepare to pursue higher education.
Any female high school senior who is an athlete (including dancers) may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they plan to participate in sports in college. Applicants don’t have to be athletes for the college itself but may continue their sports through other organizations or leagues.
To apply, tell us how balancing school and life with your sport has helped make you stronger.
How has being in a sport (including dance) and balancing school and life helped you become a stronger female in the world of male dominance?
