College Scholarship Program

"This scholarship is important to me because team sports are just a major part of my mission to grow the character
of the next generation. Team sports have changed my perspective on life and interaction with others and 
I hope to continue this tradition through my studies to achieve this goal!"
-2012 Recipient David Caravati
