Presented by the California Community College Athletic Trainers Association
DEADLINE TO SUBMIT APPLICATION(S) MARCH 20th, 2020

Summary: The California Community College Athletic Training Student Scholarship awards are given to students (who display exemplary dedication and skill in the athletic training room. This year we are pleased to announce that with the help of Jeff Nelson, we were able to raise $8,000 for student scholarships. This allows us to expand our awards to seven Northern California athletic training students and seven Southern California athletic training students. Help us thank our generous sponsors: Jeff Nelson and Family, The Western State Conference, Brian Matix from Rogers, Paul Haas from Strapit Medical and Sports Supplies, John Miller from Henry Schein, Lauren Walsh from Milliken, and Dutch Schmitt from Whitehall.

Qualifications: Members of the California Community College Athletic Trainers Association (CCCATA) are allowed to nominate 3 student athletic trainers for this scholarship. Athletic trainers are asked to carefully select students based on dedication, work ethic, skill, collegiality, and need. There is no minimum service requirement for nomination, no restriction on what year in school the student is, and no minimum GPA requirements. It is the expressed intent of the sponsors that an excellent Community College athletic training student who is also a good steward, use the scholarship money to help pay for their education and assist in their pathway to academic and career success.

Application Process: CCCATA members are asked to submit their nominees (maximum 3) along with a statement about the student and why they should be selected for the scholarship. Please include your contact information as the nominating athletic trainer and the student’s contact information (email and phone number). After a panel review, finalists from the North and South will be selected. The finalists will be notified and asked to provide a personal statement for the selection committee for review. Winners from the North and South will be announced at the Far West Athletic Trainers Association annual symposium.

Where to send the nominations: Please email your nominations to [email protected].
