NCAA Ethnic Minority and Women's Enhancement Graduate Scholarship

Description

The Ethnic Minority and Women's Enhancement Graduate Scholarship was developed by the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics and the NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee to increase the pool of opportunities for qualified minority and female candidates in intercollegiate athletics through graduate scholarships. The NCAA awards scholarships to 13 ethnic minorities and 13 female college graduates who will be entering a graduate program. The applicant must be seeking admission to, or have been accepted into, a sports administration program or a program that will help the applicant obtain a career in intercollegiate athletics, such as athletics administration, coaching, athletic training or a career providing a direct service to intercollegiate athletics. All former student-athletes who earned an undergraduate degree from an NCAA member school are eligible to be nominated by that school for an NCAA graduate degree scholarship, regardless of when they received their undergraduate degree. Applicants must be students or student-athletes at an active NCAA member institution who are at least in their final season of NCAA athletics eligibility or will not be using any remaining athletics eligibility; must enroll in an NCAA member institution; and are outstanding citizens and excellent role models for the institution and intercollegiate athletics. Applicants must have performed with distinction as a student body member at their respective undergraduate institution. The applicant's involvement in extracurricular activities, course work, commitment to pursuing a career in intercollegiate athletics and promise for success in such a career will be considered. Three letters of recommendation, by three different people are required: from an academic advisor or athletics administrator; from a professor teaching in the discipline of the student/student-athlete's baccalaureate degree; and from someone in the position to speak about the applicant's community service and leadership. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the National Collegiate Athletic Association for more information.
