The College Scholarship Grant Program was originally started in the Cleveland Municipal School District as an effort to provide underprivileged high school student-athletes the financial support necessary for them to realize their dreams of a college education.

Scholarship recipients are required to demonstrate financial need, maintain a required GPA, display outstanding sportsmanship and perform community service activities. They must also receive letters of recommendation from teachers, coaches and/or administrators.

Winners receive, in addition to the financial scholarship, a certificate of achievement and a sports bag filled with sports merchandise.
