Foot Locker, one of the largest and most popular sportswear and footwear retailers in the world, is also a huge advocate for the success of American college students. Via their foundation, the company gives away $20,000 in scholarships every single year. Their goal is to help student-athletes who also are academically exceptional. They are especially looking for students with strong leadership skills.
In addition to each student receiving a $20,000 scholarship, one of the selected students chosen, will be awarded the Ken. C. Hicks Scholarship (in honor of former Chairman and CEO), and will also receive an additional $5,000 for demonstrating superior academic achievement, outstanding leadership and a true love of the game.
This year's victors will join the program's seven previous classes of Foot Locker Scholar Athletes, bringing the total number of scholarship recipients to more than 160 since the program's origin in 2011. As of 2018, the Foot Locker Foundation has invested nearly $3 million towards the education and future of some of America's most promising scholar-athletes.
The Foot Locker Scholar Athletes Program is a key initiative of the Foot Locker Foundation, providing support for educational and sports programs across the country. This program seeks to empower young adults who successfully grasp the skills they've cultivated in their team locker rooms, and apply them to their classrooms and communities.
Applicants can apply online or be nominated by teachers, coaches, mentors, family, and friends.
The deadline for this scholarship is usually in DECEMBER, and the award amount is up to $25,000.
