USRF Awards Scholarships to 17

The USRF Scholarship Winners.

The US Rugby Foundation awarded a total of $23,000 in college scholarships to 17 deserving student-athletes. Out of the 24 students that applied for the scholarships, 17 were chosen based on their exceptional academic records, as well as their commitment to the sport of rugby.

Each of the scholarship recipients will receive a minimum of $1,000, which can be used to cover the costs of tuition, fees, books, or other school-related expenses. The recipients come from states including, Pennsylvania, Texas, California, and many more!‍

“As is the case every year, it is a very difficult assignment for the various college scholarship committees to select those they’d like to see receive scholarships as there are so many outstanding candidates,” said US Rugby Foundation President, Brian Vizard. “I want to thank all those who applied and wish them the best of luck both on and off the pitch. I would also like to encourage more graduating high school female rugby players to apply for these scholarships.”

The US Rugby Foundation's college scholarship program is a testament to the organization's commitment to supporting rugby players at every level of their development. Congratulations to all of the scholarship recipients, and best of luck in your future endeavors both on and off the rugby field!
