Nickels Student Athlete Scholarship
Sports are a great way to stay healthy, build discipline, and learn how to embrace healthy competition.
Playing sports as a student can teach many valuable lessons that will be helpful for a lifetime to come, both on and off the field. It’s important for students to learn to compete at a young age so they can learn the importance of hard work and motivation, as well as humility and sportsmanship.
This scholarship seeks to support student-athletes so they can overcome any challenges they face and attain success in the future.
Any high school student-athlete who has overcome adversity may apply for this scholarship opportunity, but applicants pursuing careers in sports are preferred.
To apply, tell us what challenges you face as a student-athlete and what lessons you have learned from this experience.
What challenges are faced when playing sports throughout high school? What are some lessons learned by being a student-athlete?
