Nelson College Experience Exceeds My Expectations

Chuck Gehl had already accepted that he wouldn’t get the Nelson College scholarship. 

The Missoula, Montana front-rower had been told he would not be going to New Zealand. But then, suddenly, it all changed. The US Rugby Foundation  found funding for a third scholarship recipient, and Geh got the call.

Warmth in the Cold: Kolo Kahanu at Nelson College

Less than two months remain for the Nelson College scholarship and the three players there are nicely settled in.

For Kolomona Kahanu, this has been a special trip. As the first Polynesian player to be part of the US Rugby Foundation-funded scholarship program, Kahanu, who is from Hawai'i and now lives and plays in Provo, Utah, has found a special experience.
