For the ninth consecutive year, the Foot Locker Foundation will be awarding 20 incoming college freshmen with $20,000 in scholarship funding through the Foot Locker Scholar Athletes Program. The funding is to pursue a 4-year college degree – not because they scored the most touchdowns or goals, but because sports have helped them grow into strong leaders at school and in their communities.
They're searching for applicants who are strong on and off the field; students who have excellent records of community service, academics, and athletics. They're searching for leaders and inspiring individuals!
Scholarship Amount:
20 awards of $20,000 each. As a bonus, one of the 20 winners will be selected for the Ken C. Hicks scholarship for demonstrating superior educational achievement, outstanding leadership, and a true love of the game. This winner will receive an additional $5,000 award.

- Be a current high school senior entering a four-year, accredited US college or university in the Fall of 2020
