More about Athletes World Foundation USA Program
A sustainable lifestyle post sporting career is a key objective for any athlete. Without higher education too many athletes are experiencing a narrow pathway of opportunity in securing an enjoyable working future. Obtaining higher education is paramount in improving the skill set of retiring athletes and providing long term returns of social and economic benefit to the communities that once supported the athletes.
Providing education for athletes in the form of Sport Scholarships enables the athlete to maximise their potential of succeeding in the professional arena, whilst providing the athlete with a peace of mind for life after sport. Evidence of the overwhelming demand is reflected in over 50,000 student athletes independently applying for assistance to AWF platforms since early 2012.
Communication and collaboration with the student athlete is key in deliverance of this global solution. As the campaign expands, Athletes World Foundation aims to strategically align with all International and National Sports Federations who understand the importance of providing Education through Sport.
