Join me in supporting real change. I’ve committed to raise funds and awareness for Sports Biz Camps.
It’s a scholarship drive! Through our fully funded programs, we’ve met students looking to explore careers in sports and also promote college readiness. We’ve engaged college students helping them to build social capital and connect them directly to career opportunities.
A critical piece to bringing our mission to life, using the power of sports to promote economic mobility, which is why we want to help them more by offsetting the cost of their college education!
Where will the money go?
Funds raised will go towards funding five (5) college scholarships for some of the 790+ high school and college students that have participated in SBC programming to date.
Why are we raising this money?
- College is critical to economic mobility -- it is the ultimate ‘leveler’ in terms of helping someone born with less, to achieve more. It doesn’t only provide education but also access to an institution in which students can build social capital that will help them launch a career. This highlights the connection between institutional settings and access and the accumulation of social capital. Exclusion from institutions means exclusion from opportunities to build valuable connections.
- A college education as an effect on long term career earnings.
- College is becoming more and more expensive -- College can be a game-changer in helping someone get ahead in life. But rising costs of tuition have led to the accumulation of student debt, which disproportionately affects marginalized populations who are more likely to use student loans to attend college and also take on greater levels of debt.
- 43.2 million students are in debt and owe an average of $39,351 each.
- Black and African American students owe an average of$25,000 more in student debt than white college graduates.
- First-generation college students are twice as likely to report they are behind in making student loan payments.
I’m asking you to help me reach our collective goal of $10,000 in college scholarships. In doing so, you can join me and others that are investing in young people and their aspirations to achieve more.
