| Venom Sports' Scholarship Program |
Venom Sports is a sports organization geared to
promoting the development and competitiveness of young athletes
across multiple sports. We participate in the Amateur Athletic
Union (AAU), one of the highest levels of sports competition
in the country, in addition to a number of other competitive
sports leagues.
EDUCATION
We believe that an athlete must not only strive to achieve and
excel in the sports they play, but also academically. That is
why we require our members to maintain passing grades. The successful
blend of athletics and academics creates a more powerful and
wiser player, a Venom player. It also positions the athlete
to take advantage of college recruiting opportunities, when
the time comes, and the rigid requirements for playing at the
college level.
VENOM'S PROGRAM
Venom Sports’ Scholarship program is designed to assist
college bound seniors, who are members in any of Venom Sports’
Programs, in furthering their college education.
All successful candidates must meet the following criteria:
- Be a college bound senior in high school
- Be a registered member of Venom Sports for
three consecutive years
- Meet Division 1 NCAA Clearing House requirements
- Submit letters of recommendation from your
last Venom coach, an opposing AAU coach and a high school
teacher
- Complete an essay as required by the application
- Submit a transcript of grades
One male and one female Venom athlete will be selected for the
award based on combination of their academic and athletic achievements,
their commitment to sport, their overall achievements in Venom
Sports and youth sports in general.
The Venom Sports Executive Board will award two $1,000 scholarships
each year (one male and one female recipient). The certificate
awards will be presented to the winners at their high school’s
graduation ceremonies, normally during the month of June. The
monetary award will be given to the recipient’s school, to
be dispersed once proof of matriculation has been made. If the
recipient does not matriculate within the first year, the award
will go to the first runner-up.
All required documents must be submitted to Venom Sports no
later than April 30th 2005. The application and supporting documentation
must be forwarded to:
